The Harvard men’s basketball team’s backcourt took a hit this past week, as both freshman sharpshooter Corbin Miller and junior wing Christian Webster went down with injuries.
Miller suffered a ligament strain in his left thumb that has forced him to miss the Crimson’s past two games. Webster joined Miller on the bench for Tuesday’s matchup at Monmouth having taken a shot to the hip during practice.
“[Webster] didn’t practice Thursday,” Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said. “He said he felt better, but he still wasn’t able to practice, so he’s been out. Corbin the same way.”
Amaker does not have a sense of when either guard will return to the floor.
“We’re taking it day by day,” Amaker said. “They weren’t able to go today, so I don’t know what that means for tomorrow either.”
Miller, a 6’2 point guard, got off to hot start in his rookie season, going 13 of 23 (56.5 percent) from beyond the arc before going down prior to Saturday’s matchup with Dartmouth.
Webster, the Crimson’s second leading scorer during the 2010-11 season, struggled through the early portion of the season, failing to reach double figures in the Crimson’s first nine games while averaging just 4.9 points per contest. But before being sidelined, the 6’5 wing had started to look more like his old self, posting 8.0 points per game in the six games leading up to Tuesday’s win at Monmouth.
