Injuries in the sports world can hurt the dynamic of a team and affect an athlete’s career. Redshirt junior guard Marquell Fraser felt the effect last season when he suffered a torn labrum.
Fraser wanted to play through the injury and get surgery by the end of the season but realized his hips wouldn’t make it through to the end. He went through hip surgery and rehabilitation in the summer.
“He worked as hard as anybody in our program over the summer to get himself back healthy and be able to play at a high level,” Idaho Interim Head Coach Zac Claus said.
