By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on February 04, 2025
West Virginia University senior Tucker DeVries will have surgery for an upper body injury and will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, head coach Darian DeVries announced today.
“Since early December, we have consulted with our team doctors and numerous medical professionals to evaluate and treat Tucker’s injury,” coach DeVries said. “Tucker did everything he could to get back on the court this season, but unfortunately it has been determined by all parties involved that surgery is necessary. He will be out of action for approximately three months.
“We will apply for a medical redshirt and certainly look forward for Tucker to come back healthy for his final year. As I’ve said before, we have a great bunch of guys in the locker room who have rallied around him during his absence. I have complete confidence in our team that they will continue to do so.”
DeVries, a native of Waukee, Iowa, started the first eight games for the Mountaineers, averaging 14.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.
