CLEVELAND — To say that Javontae Campbell got dealt a tough hand this season doesn’t quite do enough justice as to what the Bowling Green State University men’s basketball standout has went through this season.
He got dealt two.
BGSU head coach Todd Simon said after the Falcons’ 96-67 Mid-American Conference tournament loss to Akron on Thursday that Campbell broke his left hand two weeks ago. The 6-foot-2, 155-pound junior guard had been playing with a broken right hand since Jan. 7.
That’s two significant injuries for a player who has the ball in his hands most of the game, especially when point guard Trey Thomas suffered a season-ending leg injury on Feb.
