University of Hawai`i men’s basketball player Stephen Verwers suffered fractures of the tibia and fibula in his left leg in practice today and will undergo season-ending surgery. Verwers, a 6-11 senior center from Weatherford, Texas, suffered the injury about an hour into the Rainbow Warriors’ Christmas day practice. “Obviously were extremely disappointed,” head coach Bob Nash said. “Stephen’s been such a positive force for this program, he just graduated, and for him to suffer this type of misfortune is a huge blow for everyone.”Verwers has started all 10 games for UH this season, averaging 6.2 ppg and 4.1 rpg, while shooting 52.2 percent (24-46) from the field. The transfer from Colorado State has appeared in 40 career games with 18 starts dating back to last season and scored a career-high 15 points in a loss to San Diego on Dec. 2. Hawai`i will face New Mexico in a non-conference game this Thursday at 7 p.m.Courtesy: hawaiiathletics.com
