Solo Ball's Wrist Surgery: A Comeback Story?

0:00On April 20, Yukon dropped some tough news this week on Junior Guard Solo Ball. He's heading into risk surgery and will sit out the whole 2026-27 season. The plan is for him to take a medical red shirt and come back strong for his senior year in 2027-28. Ball's been a key piece for the Huskies already.
