Adversity struck Miami Hurricanes forward Sam Waardenburg last October when he suffered a left foot injury during a preseason practice, causing him to miss the entirety of the 2020-21 men’s basketball season.
Nearly a year has passed since that devastating injury, and Waardenburg is excited to return to game action.
“I’m ready to get out there,” Waardenburg said. “Sitting out a whole year when you’re a basketball player, you got that urge, you just want to get out there. It’s like an itch. I’m very excited, and I’m really looking forward for that first game.
