Iowa State standout Tyrese Haliburton out for the season with broken wrist

AMES, Iowa — Iowa State's Tyrese Haliburton is done for the season after suffering a left wrist fracture during the first half of Saturday's victory against Kansas State at Hilton Coliseum.

“We are disappointed for Tyrese and his family, and we are focused on helping him in his recovery,” coach Steve Prohm said in a statement released Monday morning. “Tyrese is a great teammate, leader and valuable member of this program and university in so many ways. There is no doubt in my mind that Tyrese will face this setback with the same energy and passion that we have all come to appreciate and that he will return from this better than ever.”

Haliburton, a potential lottery pick if he decides to enter the NBA draft, underwent an MRI Sunday.

“This comes as a shock to me, my family, my teammates and coaches,” Haliburton said. “As this season continues, I will try to to be the best teammate possible. I know my brothers will step up and I can’t wait to be there every step of the way.”

Haliburton averaged 15.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists and 2.5 steals in 22 games as a sophomore this seaso.
