Rhyne Howard suffers lower leg injury, status for Olympics unknown

Former Kentucky star Rhyne Howard suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury during a game Wednesday night.

The team officially called it a lower leg injury and ruled Howard out for tonight’s game against the Fever.

Howard’s status with USA Basketball’s 3-on-3 team is in question with the 2024 Olympic Games just five weeks away. The 3-on-3 team already lost rookie Cameron Brink to a torn ACL.



Howard is averaging 15.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game for the Dream this season.
