Gak’s injury is the latest loss for the Miami basketball team that has had several of them this fall. Sophomore transfer guard Miles Wilson was dismissed before the season began. Junior center-forward Dewan Hernandez has missed Miami’s first nine games this season while he awaits an eligibility issue.
Gak was a valuable member of Miami’s rotation off the bench. In 14.1 minutes per game, Gak was averaging 2.5 points per game, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. He has significant work to do on his shooting. The 6’10 Redshirt Freshman made only eight of his 24 shots from the floor and four of ten from the free throw line.
