PITTSBURGH – Junior forward William Jeffress will miss six weeks of the preseason with a left foot injury school officials announced Tuesday morning.
“Will suffered a foot injury last week and evaluations by our medical staff determined the need to shut him down for a few weeks,” said head coach Jeff Capel. “Will was having a strong fall and we are excited about his continued development. This injury is a minor setback, but we anticipate that he will make a full recovery and be ready to return to the court in October.”
Jeffress averaged 3.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in just over 20 minutes per game last season. He appeared in 31 games (16 starts) and finished third on the team with 30 offensive rebounds.
Pitt will hold its first official practice Monday, Sept. 26. The Panthers will play Clarion (Oct. 22) and Edinboro (Nov. 2) in exhibition games before opening the regular season at the Petersen Events Center Monday, Nov. 7 against Tennessee-Martin.
