Cal’s Tyrone Wallace (hand fracture) to miss NCAA tournament

California guard Tyrone Wallace will sit out of the Golden Bears’ entire NCAA tournament.

California guard Tyrone Wallace will be out three to five weeks after sustaining a fracture in his right head, meaning the Golden Bear’s top player will miss the entire NCAA tournament, the school announced Thursday.

The injury to Wallace’s non-shooting hand occurred during practice Wednesday night. 

Wallace also missed five games earlier this season with a fractured right hand.

The 6'5" senior leads the Golden Bears with an average of 15.3 points, 4.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 32.2 minutes per game this season.
