Oklahoma State Guard Avery Anderson Resumes Limited Basketball Activities, Will Be Reevaluated This Week

Oklahoma State guard Avery Anderson has resumed limited basketball activities following a wrist surgery last month that has kept him out since OSU’s win against Oklahoma on Feb. 1 in Norman, Pistols Firing can confirm.

The news was first reported by Jon Rothstein.

Anderson will be reevaluated this week. He is the Cowboys’ third-leading scorer, averaging 11.1 points a game. He also leads the Cowboys in assists and steals, averaging 3.4 per game and 1.5 per game, respectively.

Anderson suffered the injury some time before OSU’s trip to Manhattan on Jan. 10 before re-aggravating the injury in that game against the Sooners. He had surgery on the wrist Feb. 8 and was back on OSU’s sideline that night in a cast.

Anderson had just gotten into a fairly solid groove, too. In the last five games Anderson has played in, he averaged 13.4 point and 4.8 assists a game. OSU was 4-1 in those five games, as well.

Without Anderson, the Cowboys sputtered down the stretch, finishing the regular season 4-5 and dropping five of their past six.

Oklahoma State plays Oklahoma at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in Kansas City in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. The Cowboys are on the wrong side of the bubble entering this week.
