URGENT UPDATE: Iowa State starting point guard Tamin Lipsey will be sidelined for four to six weeks due to a knee injury sustained during practice on Tuesday. The school confirmed that Lipsey suffered a sprain to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee, raising concerns about his availability for the Cyclones’ season opener against Fairleigh Dickinson on November 3.
This development is a significant blow for the Cyclones as Lipsey has been a pivotal player for the team, starting all 103 career games and holding the record as the team’s all-time steals leader with 237 steals. Last season, he made substantial contributions, averaging 10.6 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Fans and teammates are understandably concerned as Lipsey’s absence could impact the Cyclones’ early season momentum. His leadership on the court has been instrumental in shaping the team’s performance, and the recovery timeline means his return could coincide with critical early matchups.
As the Cyclones prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Lipsey’s rehabilitation progress. The coaching staff is expected to adjust strategies to accommodate for his absence, making the next few weeks crucial in determining the team’s dynamics.
Stay tuned for further updates as Iowa State navigates this injury setback and looks to maintain its competitive edge in the upcoming season.
