Senior guard Kyle Cassity rolled his ankle while running on Monday, July 12, 2011, he told The University News. While he expects to be fully recovered before the start of the August practice period, Cassity says he is currently in a protective boot and will be re-evaluated by a physician in two weeks.
The Saint Louis University men’s basketball team is currently in their off-season work-out period. Each member of the team participates in individual work-out activities with strength and conditioning coach Erick Schork, including a structured running program. Cassity says he is limited to upper-body activities, such as lifting, but will be unable to shoot for an extended period of time.
Cassity was the only Billiken to start all 31 games last season and was fourth on the squad in scoring with 8.4 ppg. He led the team with 104 assists, which is the eighth most by a SLU junior in program history.
