Star big man Josh Scott leaves Oregon State game early

Senior big man Josh Scott came out of the Colorado Buffaloes game Saturday night before halftime. It appeared the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar award finalist hurt his left ankle.

The injury happened with a few minutes left in the first half. Scott was under the basket and looked to land funny, he initially stayed in the game and hobbled around until the next whistle. He came out for the second half but was wearing his warmup jacket and stayed on the bench. Eventually, Scott left the bench to go to the locker room briefly.

Scott is averaging 17.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.9 blocks a game.

Clock issue delaying start of 2nd half. Unfortunately, probably won't last long enough for Josh Scott's ankle to heal

Looks like @J40Scott won’t return for second half; sitting at end of CU bench. Tory Miller on the floor in his place to start second half.
