Shavon Shields won’t play for the Nebraska men’s basketball team on Wednesday at Wisconsin, and when the senior forward returns, well, nobody knows for certain.
“We just want him to make a full recovery and a speedy recovery,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said after Tuesday’s practice, and before his team caught a charter flight to Madison, Wisconsin.
Shields, who suffered a concussion in Saturday’s home victory over Rutgers, wasn’t on that plane.
He’s at his Lincoln home, resting and recovering from a serious fall that sent him to a hospital. The Academic All-American has not attended class or practice.
