Donnie Freeman - College Basketball News & Rumors

Expected back "fairly soon" Freeman (foot) is expected to return to action "fairly soon," according to head coach Adrian Autry, Justin Girshon of The Daily Orange reports.

Impact Freeman has missed the last seven games for the Orange, but it's clear there's optimism within the Syracuse program that he'll be available soon. As for a specific timeline, that's still off the table, but whenever the forward does return, he'll provide a big boost - Freeman averaged 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists before his absence.
