So much for the highly anticipated debut of Rutgers’ two star freshmen.
One of them, Ace Bailey, will miss Wednesday night’s opener against Wagner with a wrist injury, the school announced.
The 6-foot-10 Bailey, a projected top-three NBA Draft pick, suffered the injury in practice on Monday and is day-to-day, Rutgers said.
The other acclaimed freshman, Dylan Harper, will make his anticipated debut at Jersey Mike’s Arena.
Bailey is a big-time shotmaker with NBA-size on the wing.
Some scouts believe he has the best chance to unseat Duke phenom Cooper Flagg as the No. 1 pick in the next draft.
But now, he will start the season on the sideline.
