Pittsburgh graduate transfer Ryan Luther, a 6-foot-9 forward who averaged a double-double last season, will be an integral part of the Arizona Wildcats’ revamped frontcourt in 2018-19.
If he can stay healthy, that is.
Luther appeared in just 10 games in 2017-18 after he suffered a season-ending stress reaction in his right foot. In 2016-17, he missed 12 games because of a similar injury.
That’s the bad news. The good news is those injuries appear to be over and done with as he enters his lone season in the desert.
UA trainer Justin Kokoskie told Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star that Luther has been fully cleared for three months now.
