Gophers' injury list grows with Dawson Garcia, Braeden Carrington out for exhibition Jamison Battle was already sidelined for the Gophers, but he's got company on the bench vs. St. Olaf.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Jamison Battle - Probably out Minnesota head coach Benjamin Johnson said Battle (foot) is "probably not" available Monday versus Western Michigan, according to Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Impact Battle's injury status continues being week-to-week, so fantasy managers should not be surprised that the Gophers forward will probably sit out Monday. Their next game is against St. Francis (NY) on Nov. 11.

Jamison Battle - Week-to-week with foot injury Battle (foot) is listed as week-to-week ahead of Minnesota's season-opener against Western Michigan on Nov. 7, Andy Greder of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Battle underwent "minor" foot surgery on Friday, and he will remain questionable for Minnesota's season-opener. The 6-foot-7 junior led the Gophers' offense last season, contributing 17.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and one assist on 36.7 minutes per game. If Battle is unable to start the season, Minnesota will likely rely on true freshmen, Kadyn Betts and Pharrel Payne to take on a larger role in his absence.

Parker Fox - Will miss 2022-23 season Fox (knee) will miss the upcoming season after injuring his right knee in practice, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact This is a devastating injury for the big man, who missed all of the 2021-2022 season with a left knee injury. Fox was buried on the depth chart for the upcoming campaign but still figured to at least see the court, as he hasn't logged any playing time yet in the Twin Cities. Isaiah Ihnen is projected to be the team's starting center heading into the 2022 season.
