Two starters expected to miss UD’s game Monday
Dayton started London Warren, Chris Wright, Kurt Huelsman, Paul Williams and Mickey Perry for the second half against Presbyterian College tonight, and that’s a lineup that probably will see the floor for the opening tap against Appalachian State on Monday — and maybe beyond that.
Senior guard Marcus Johnson, the team’s third-leading scorer, took a hard fall with 9:51 to go in the first half after trying to stop a break-away lay-up. He suffered a sprained left ankle and was scheduled to get X-rays tonight.
Chris johnson, the team’s top rebounder and second-leading scorer, took a shot to chops after running into a backcourt pick set by Presbyterian’s Jake Troyli less than two minutes into the game.
Johnson was knocked backward and stayed on the floor for a couple of minutes before staggering to the bench. He appears to have suffered a concussion.
“It’s too early to tell, but I would assume you wouldn’t see them until we get back from (Christmas) break,” UD coach Brian Gregory said. “(Chris) took a blow to the face. The ref assured me it was legal. I didn’t really see it. But right now, the preliminary report is that he has a concussion. With that, he would not play on Monday, obviously.”
After facing Appalachian State (7-4), the Flyers host Boston University (which has a win over Indiana) on Dec. 29 and plays at nationally ranked New Mexico on Jan. 1.
