ORLANDO, Fla. — Head coach Mark Turgeon gave an update on the status of freshman Chol Marial Wednesday after his most recent checkup since having a surgery in early September for stress fractures in both legs suffered in high school.
The 7’2 big man was rated as a top recruit in his class as a sophomore but was derailed by injuries throughout his last two seasons. He is now about a month away from being able to return to the court, Turgeon said.
Marial progressed to running up and down the court without contact, participating in shooting drills and played a one-on-one against Will Clark Tuesday.
