Taylor's injury is the second blow to the Braves in two days: On Sunday, senior forward Auston Barnes was arrested on domestic battery charges. Barnes was also a starter in Bradley's front court.
Bradley coach Geno Ford did not rule out the possibility that Taylor could have surgery, according to the Journal-Star. Ford said the team expects him back in mid-to-late September.
