Indiana Basketball: 2020 signee to miss time with wrist injury

After a great start to his senior season, Indiana basketball signee Trey Galloway will miss time with a fracture in his wrist.

Indiana basketball signee Trey Galloway is off to a terrific start to his senior season, with averages of 25.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game, but the Culver Academies guard did receive some bad news over the weekend.

The 6-foot-4 guard will be out for a couple of weeks with a small fracture in his wrist, however, as it was announced this weekend ahead of the FORUM Tipoff Classic.

This isn’t the first wrist injury for Galloway though. After dealing with one for almost the entirety of his junior season in which his shooting felt the brunt of it, shooting just 27 percent from three, he turned around and had a terrific Sumer shooting the ball, over 42 percent from deep in 16 games with Indiana Elite on the Adidas Gauntlet AAU Circuit

Galloway, who was the first 2020 commitment for Archie Miller and Indiana, was a career 37 percent three-point shooter in his first two seasons, but has been very inconsistent with his shot since, who had made just 3-of-19 of his threes this season.

While shooting is not what makes Galloway’s game, his offensive potential and ceiling greatly increases if he can find the touch he had earlier in his high school career.

With the wrist injury causing him to miss a matchup of fellow Indiana commit and friend Anthony Leal on Saturday, there is a chance that depending on the extent of the injury Galloway may miss just a few games.

With no other games until Jan 4 at Fort Wayne Blackhawk, it gives him ample time to rest up before the brunt of the schedule gets going in the new year.

Galloway currently sits at No. 116 in 247Sports rankings in the 2020 class.
