Taylor Ruled Out With Wrist Injury

Texas guard Isaiah Taylor is going to miss the team's clash with California in the 2K Classic on Friday night due to a wrist injury. The extent of the ailment hasn't been determined.

The Longhorn Network provided the update:

ESPN's Jeff Goodman provided more on a potential timetable:

"

Taylor had his wrist heavily wrapped but told ESPN.com after the win that he did not think it was broken. Taylor received X-rays following the game, but the Texas medical staff will seek additional tests in Austin to see if there was a fracture.

"It looks like he's going to be out for several weeks," one source said. "But it's not season-ending."

"

Taylor leads the team in scoring through the first three games, all Longhorns victories, at 15 points per game. Obviously his absence is a setback as they prepare to face the Golden Bears, but the hope for Texas is that it doesn't become a long-term absence.

More information should be available shortly after further evaluation once the team returns home.
