Tasmin Mitchell Likely Out For the Season
November 28th, 2007

As reported by numerous
media outlets Monday, LSU junior forward
Tasmin Mitchell is likely out for the
season after it was decided he would need to undergo surgery
to repair a stress fracture in his left ankle that has kept him out for the
majority of this season. “It’s the best decision to go ahead with the surgery
and there is a good chance I will probably not be back this season,” Mitchell
said. “As of right now, I haven’t really made the decision yet. What I think I’m
going to do is redshirt.” Recovery will take at least six-to-eight weeks. Junior
Garrett Temple said the loss of Mitchell affects the team more than the numbers
indicate. “He’s really the heart of our team in a lot of ways,” Temple told
The (Baton Rouge) Advocate. “It changes us a whole lot to not have him out
there with us.”
