George Kiernan had to get his ankle taped at halftime of Wednesday night’s game against American. The 6-foot-7, 225-pound forward had leaped to grab a rebound and landed awkwardly.
“Just my luck, for about the fourth time this season I came down and landed on someone’s foot and rolled my ankle,” Kiernan said.
Kiernan joined a Navy men’s basketball injury report that includes four of five starters. Senior forward Tom Lacey has been nursing a sore ankle since late December while senior swingman Shawn Anderson has been bothered by a bad hip almost all season.
Junior point guard Hasan Abdullah has missed the last two games with head and hip injuries incurred while diving for a loose ball against Bucknell while senior guard Bryce Dulin has an ailing back.
