Eric Vila - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Won't play this season Vila (foot) won't take the floor during the 2020-21 season, Andy Morgan of KTSM 9 News reports.

Impact After averaging 20.5 minutes per game for the Miners last season, Vila hasn't taken the floor this season due to a foot issue that has prevented him from playing at all to date. That will apparently continue through the end of the campaign, so Vila will presumably instead begin gearing up to retake the floor next season.

Impact Whatever injury Vila is dealing with appears to be pretty severe and head coach Rodney Terry said they don't want to push him to come back sooner than he should. Based on his remarks, Vila very well could miss the entire season although nothing is certain right now.
