Out for 2026-27 season Ball is out for the 2026-27 season with a wrist injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Ball will be sidelined for the entire upcoming season with a pop-up wrist ailment and medically redshirt to preserve a year of eligibility. The 6-foot-4 guard's absence will be a big hit to the Huskies, as he started in all 39 of his appearances in the 2025-26 campaign. He'll now focus on rehabbing back to full health for his senior year, which will be in the 2027-28 stretch.

Disappears in Round of 32 Ball finished with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes during Sunday's 73-57 win over UCLA.

Impact Ball was held scoreless for the first time all season, and his season-low in minutes played raised questions about whether there was an injury in play (though nothing has been confirmed). Over the first 31 games of the season, Ball averaged 14.1 ppg, but that mark has shriveled to 4.8 ppg over his last four. He'll need to turn things around, especially if Silas Demary remains limited by an ankle injury, in Friday's Sweet 16 matchup against Michigan State.
