As UW Visits Illinois, Rencher Likely Done For Season
- Jasir Rencher is likely done for the season due to an ongoing medical issue, per coach Danny Sprinkle.
- Washington has only 10 scholarship players available plus a walk-on after Rencher's status.
- Lathan Sommerville is day-to-day but could return soon after knee injury sidelined him for nine games.
- Washington travels to face Illinois, a top-10 opponent, with hopes of competing despite injuries.
- Rencher played in eight games and averaged 3 points per game this season before his injury status affected his availability.
- Mady Traore, Christian Nitu, and Desmond Claude were previously mentioned as players unavailable for the season.
- Coach Sprinkle has declined to discuss the situations surrounding Nitu and Claude.
- The Illini hosted the Huskies in a game televised by FS1, with Illinois holding a strong season record.
- The context shows Washington's ongoing injury issues complicating roster depth this season.
- Rencher's absence adds to Washington's season-long challenge of player availability.
