15 Oct
Summary
- Guard Mikey Lewis expected back in December after foot injury.
- Coach Miller anticipates Lewis playing final 20-25 games.
- Freshman-heavy backcourt to fill void during Lewis's absence.
Texas Longhorns' guard Mikey Lewis is on the road to recovery from a foot injury, with head coach Sean Miller providing a hopeful timetable. Miller announced that Lewis is anticipated to return in December, positioning him to participate in the final 20 to 25 games of the 2026-27 season. The injury, described as a non-contact incident occurring away from the basket, occurred last month.
While Lewis's absence is noted, Miller highlighted the opportunity this presents for the team's younger players. The Longhorns will rely on a backcourt featuring freshmen Austin Goosby, Joe Sterling, and Bo Ogden, alongside transfers Isaiah Johnson and Amari Evans. Lewis, a transfer from Saint Mary's, averaged 11.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists over 68 games in his previous two seasons.
