Nebraska will be down a big man just as the Big Ten slate jumps into gear
Freshman big Wilhelm Breidenbach’s freshman season may have come to a premature close.
Coach Fred Hoiberg announced Sunday afternoon that Breidenbach “will most likely miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season” after suffering a leg injury against Michigan last week.
“It is disappointing to see Wilhelm’s season end this early because of an injury,” Hoiberg said. “He was an important part of our rotation and impacted the game in a number of ways. Knowing the competitor that he is, Wilhelm will attack his rehab and come back stronger than ever.”
The 6-foot-10 California product had appeared in all 10 games this season, averaging 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game.
