Per UT Zeigler: The San Diego State men’s basketball team went to the Del Mar horse races earlier this week for an NIL event sponsored by the MESA Foundation collective. The track posted photos of players and coaches.
You might have noticed Florida Atlantic transfer Nick Boyd with a mobility scooter and a protective boot on his left foot.
It’s been that way since Boyd badly rolled his ankle last month, forcing him to miss much of the summer session.
The good news: Boyd expects the boot to come off and on-court rehab to begin in the next week or so.
He should be back when official preseason practice begins in late September.
“I think he’s more anxious than I am,” coach Brian Dutcher said. “I want him healthy more than anything. If you’re going to be injured, this is the time to be injured. Take all the time in the world. It’s early September. We don’t play until November. We’ve got two months to get him ready.
“If he was a freshman, it would be way more of a concern, learning all the new stuff. But he’s played college basketball at the highest level. He knows what it is. Yeah, I’d like to have him out here and let him feel more comfortable. But his health is the most important thing going into the season for us.”
