What does the Tracy Abrams injury mean for Illinois Basketball?

Tracy Abrams will miss a second-consecutive year due to injury. On Tuesday, the university announced that the senior guard will be sidelined for the entire 2015-16 season after suffering a torn left Achilles tendon during practice on Monday. Surgery has been scheduled for August 5th, which means Abrams won't even be able to travel with his teammates to Europe for the program's overseas exhibition trip.

In case you missed it, here's a statement from John Groce that was included in Tuesday's press release:

"First of all, my heart goes out to Tracy," head coach John Groce said.
