Chance Westry Out Indefinitely After Suffering Injury in Practice
Syracuse basketball announced on Saturday that Chance Westry will be out indefinitely after suffering an injury on Thursday that "will require a procedure." No further details were provided. Westry transferred into Syracuse this offseason after spending his freshman season with Auburn. A season that was cut short due to injury.
In 11 games at Auburn last season, Westry averaged 2.5 points, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in just over nine minutes per game. Westry ultimately took a medical redshirt after dealing with injury issues. Medical issues are cropping again, though we do not know if it is related to previous injuries.
As a transfer, he picked the Orange over offers from Creighton, Seton Hall, St. John's and Penn State.
"Great coaching, great program," Westry said. "Obviously it was my first offer (out of high school). Just Syracuse helping me develop into a better player on the court and off the court."
Syracuse recruited Westry out of high school, where he was near consensus top 40 prospect (247Sports ranked him at 44, while ESPN, Rivals and On3 had him between 34 and 37). That previous relationship, led by associate head coach Gerry McNamara, played a pivotal role in Westry's transfer recruitment.
"He was always real and always transparent," Westry said. "I appreciated that because the bond only got stronger from both parties keeping it real with each other."
