KENNY FOSTER NEWS

OFS with Achilles injury Foster will miss the entire 2023-24 season after suffering an Achilles injury in practice, the Casper Star-Tribune reports.

Impact It's an incredibly tough break for Foster, who already lost much of last season to a back injury but was expected to compete for a starting role in the upcoming year. As a result, Wyoming will have to turn to far less experienced options to get backcourt minutes.

Just six minutes in win Foster (back) played six minutes and had three points (1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one steal during Tuesday's win at New Mexico.

Impact Foster was sidelined the past two months with a back injury but returned to the court for Tuesday's contest. He made three starts and averaged 17.8 minutes prior to the injury, so his playing time could increase as he gets back up to speed.

Should play Tuesday Foster (back) is "very likely" to play Tuesday against New Mexico, Alex Taylor of the Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports.

Impact Foster hasn't played since Dec. 17 due to the back issue, but it appears he'll be available for Tuesday's contest. He made three straight starts prior to the absence and averaged 10.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 28.3 minutes in those contests, but he could have a more limited role after being out nearly two months.

Underwent back surgery Foster underwent surgery on his back and has been ruled out for Saturday's home game against Colorado State, Alex Taylor of Wyo Sports reports.

Impact It's unclear how significant of a procedure Foster underwent, but he's been out since mid-December. The remainder of his season may be in jeopardy following the surgery.

Out vs. Colorado State Foster (back) will sit out during Wyoming's game Saturday versus Colorado State, according to Ryan Thorburn of The Casper Star-Tribune.

Out again Foster (back) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game against Air Force, Wyoming beat writer Alex Taylor reports.

Impact Aside from Tuesday's game, Foster's status for the remainder of the season is in question. However, he will continue to be looked at as day-to-day until the team provides more clarity on his status.

May be out for extended period Foster (back) is questionable to return this season, Alex Taylor of WyoSports reports.

Impact Foster has missed the last three games and is unlikely to play Saturday due to a back injury. However, it is possible he will be out for much longer, as the senior guard may not return in 2022-23.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to remain out Saturday Foster (back) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's game against San Diego State, Ryan Thorburn of the Casper Star-Tribune reports.

Impact Foster is not expected to be available for Saturday's showdown with San Diego State, along with three other Cowboys' players. The senior guard has appeared in 10 games this season, logging 5.9 points and 2.4 rebounds on 17.8 minutes per game. If his is ultimately unable to suit up, junior backup, Xaiver DuSell, will likely have a larger role in the contest.

DNP vs. New Mexico Foster (undisclosed) did not play during the Cowboys' 76-75 loss Saturday versus New Mexico.

Ankle injury in the past Foster (ankle) ended with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound over 13 minutes during Monday's 102-69 victory over Colorado Christian.

Impact Foster appeared just once for the Cowboys after the calendar turned to 2022, but he was spotted in warmups in February despite the assumption that he would be taking a medical redshirt. It appears he's in the clear now and was one of four reserve players to log double-digit minutes in what ended up being a blowout against a DII opponent. Look for similar contributions moving forward from the senior.

Warms up with teammates Foster (ankle) was spotted warming up in advance of Saturday's 74-61 victory over Nevada, Josh Criswell of the Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports.

Impact Foster was at one point thought to be finished for the season and set on taking a medical redshirt, so it was an interesting development to see him on the court for warmups. Of course, that doesn't necessarily guarantee he will see the court for the Cowboys any time soon, if at all. According to 7220 Sports, Foster has been dealing with both a high-ankle sprain and an illness. It's unclear which is more prevalent at the time, but it would likely be unwise to rely on him from a fantasy standpoint as the regular season concludes.

JANUARY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Monday Foster (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game against Colorado State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Foster did not suit up in the team's last game against Air Force. It's unclear what kind of injury he is dealing with, but he will likely test things out in pregame warmups to see how it feels.

JANUARY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Tuesday Foster (not injury related) will be good to go for Tuesday's game against Boise State, University of Wyoming beat writer Josh Criswell reports.

Impact Foster was available for last Saturday's game, but did not end up playing. It sounds like he will see action in Tuesday's game.

JANUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Foster has missed the last three games in COVID-19 protocols, and he is not expected to return today. The 6-foot-5 junior has appeared in eight games for the Cowboys, contributing two points and 2.3 rebounds on 11.6 minutes per game this season.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Does not make trip Monday Foster (COVID-19) protocols did not make the trip for Monday's game against Nevada, the Casper Star-Tribune Online reports.

Impact Wyoming has another game on Wednesday against San Jose State, so it's unclear if Foster will be able to clear COVID protocols in time for that contest as well.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays two minutes in return Foster (ankle) was held scoreless in two minutes during Thursday's win over Denver.

Impact Foster missed Monday's game against Fullerton due to a high-ankle sprain but he entered Thursday's matchup late in the contest. He's made just two appearances for Wyoming to begin the year while battling his ankle injury.

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to play Foster (ankle) sat out of Monday's game against Fullerton due to a high-ankle sprain, Josh Criswell of WyoSports reports.

Impact After making his season debut against Hastings College, Foster, who has been nursing an ankle sprain, missed Monday's game due to the same injury. Foster averaged 9.1 points in 17 appearances as a sophomore last season and was returning to his starting role for the Cowboys. It is unclear when Foster will make his return to the court.

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back on sidelines Foster did not take the court in Monday's 79-66 victory over CSU Fullerton.

Impact No specific reason was provided for Foster's absence, but it's fair to wonder if the ankle injury that held him out of the season's first four games is in play again. He did log a productive 26 minutes last Friday, but it's possible the Cowboys are simply trying to manage his usage. He'll likely be a game-time call Thursday against Denver. Meanwhile, point-forward Hunter Maldonado returned from a one-game absence and nearly provided a double-double.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

26 minutes in season debut Foster chipped in two points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 108-59 win over Hastings College.

Impact Foster missed the first four games of the season with an ankle injury, and while the only points he mustered were from the charity stripe, he still filled the box score with multi-category production. Whether he returns to the starting five -- as was the case for a long stretch last season -- remains to be seen, but at the very least, the third-year guard should give the Cowboys a significant depth boost.
