Oklahoma’s Wille Warren Out For Season With Ankle Injury, Undergoing Surgery

Warren has averaged 16.3 points and 4.1 assists per game, but his shooting numbers are down across the board, as well as his assist to turnover ratio. But Warren’s struggles have paled in comparison to those of his team, which has floundered to a 13-16 (4-11) record. The Sooners have lost their last seven games.

Warren has been out since February 25th with a sprained ankle, that was originally expected to sideline him until the Big 12 tournament on March 10th. But with Oklahoma three games under .500, they’d have to win their final regular season game as well as two Big 12 tournament games to even have a chance of qualifying for the NIT. Given that their season is all but over, it makes sense that they wouldn’t want to take any chances with Warren’s health, and rush him back this season.
