Taveion Hollingsworth is already hard to miss on the basketball court with his big, bouncy hair and Rambo-style headband. Now he’ll add a face mask to that look.
Hollingsworth broke his nose Saturday in the final minute at Texas-San Antonio, Western Kentucky coach Rick Stansbury confirmed Monday night on his radio show.
The guard Hollingsworth probably won’t need surgery on his nose, Stansbury said, but will wear a face mask going forward for protection.
The Hilltoppers (16-7 overall, 8-2 Conference USA) are hopeful to have Hollingsworth available Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. home matchup with Florida Atlantic (10-13, 4-7).
