There is Tucker Devries ‘BrightSide’ Operation to complete the season – Sports Illustrated

The chief coach of the University of Western Virginia, Darian Devris, announced on Tuesday, his son, Senior striker Tucker Devris, has undergone surgery to complete the season.

Tucker has been away from the beginning of December after a frugal 73-60 victory against Georgetown then, the next day, Darian Devis Tucker was out indefinitely.

“When we had to close it, it was one of those things we did our best to try to get it back,” Devis said. “He wanted to be part of this group and what we were going, but in the end with the doctors and things were just something we couldn’t get to this point and we had to do surgery.”

Devries, like most coaches across the country, does not share injuries reports. Asked about Tucker’s condition throughout the season, he always responded “Every Day”.

“It was a long, long process for him. I know he was tired of the training hall,” Devris said. He later added that he wanted to play. He wanted to come back. “

“The good part is that it’s done – it’s over and now we’re starting the new process of new rehabilitation,” Devris said. Everything went well, so this is great and I know from his point of view, I know that he is looking forward to returning and being healthy again for about two to three months. ”

Tucker improved his production all three seasons in Drake and finished his junior season on average 21.6 points per game, increasing it by 3.0 ppg of the season before and this season proved that it could compete with the best in the Bahamas, By recording the theft against Gonzaga to send it overtime and registered 26 points of the season when winning Arizona. Still, he has been involved in injuries from the end of his sophomore.

“The last few years he has missed the whole out -of -season,” Devris said. “So, from the opportunity to train and enter the weight room and work on his game, this part actually works better than the last few years if you are trying to find a bright side. This is a little silver lining, now it will have a full out -season to return. “

Devries also shares Tucker plans to return to the program next season.

Tucker is an average of 14.9 points 2.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.8 thefts per match in his performances this season.
