TCU Guard Frankie CollinsThe team’s best player through the first month will miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken foot last weekend, the school said Friday.
Collins will have surgery on Tuesday.
The injury came in Sunday’s 83-74 loss to Vanderbilt. Collins left in the second half, but returned to finish the game.
A 6-foot-2 guard from Sacramento, Calif., Collins arrived at TCU last spring after starting 66 games over two seasons at Arizona State. Through nine games, Collins was leading the Horned Frogs in scoring (11.2 points per game), assists (4.4) and steals (1.9).
He had 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the team’s biggest win of the season, a 76-72 victory over Xavier earlier this month.
Without Collins, expect. Wesson Elliott To view the extended character. He started his first game of the season last weekend and has experience as a primary playmaker from his time at Old Dominion.
TCU next hosts South Alabama on Monday.
