What does Elijah Gertrude’s injury mean for UVA basketball in 2024-2025?

Virginia Cavaliers basketball fans received some devastating news this past week when the basketball program announced that Elijah Gertrude will miss the entire 2024-25 season with a serious knee injury.

He suffered the injury in a scooter accident in late April, and it’s now the second major knee issue he’s endured in his young career after an ACL injury kept him out his senior season in high school.

More important than anything, the Virginia basketball community wishes Elijah a safe and speedy recovery. We can’t wait to see the ultra-talented student-athlete back playing basketball again in a Cavalier uniform.
