Kansas State basketball coach Bruce Weber provided some clarity on Dean Wade’s foot injury Tuesday.
“It’s a tendon in his foot,” Weber said. “He had a slight tear. It’s just a freak thing. If you go back and watch it, he shot a jump shot and landed on his foot just like you always do. He backed up a step and all of a sudden he was in extreme pain.”
Wade, a senior forward and the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year, crumpled to the ground when he sustained the injury in his right foot during a game against Georgia State on Saturday.
