Sources: King Out for Georgia Tech vs. VT
Georgia Tech will be without one of its key players for their upcoming game against Virginia Tech.
The source? The news came straight from the mouth of Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key, who confirmed the absence of sophomore point guard Miles "Deuce" King due to a lower body injury.
Key's words echoed across the media: "Deuce has been dealing with a lower body injury, and he won't be available for the Virginia Tech game," he stated.
While the specific nature of the injury remains undisclosed, the absence of King undoubtedly presents a significant challenge for the Yellow Jackets.
Key's confirmation was the first official word on King's status. While the team has been tight-lipped about the injury, reports began surfacing in the hours leading up to the Virginia Tech game, suggesting King might be sidelined.
These reports, however, were unconfirmed until Key's official statement.
With King out, Georgia Tech will face a tough task against a Virginia Tech team eager to bounce back from a recent loss. King's leadership and offensive prowess have been crucial for the Yellow Jackets, and his absence will be felt deeply.
The team will need to rely on other players to step up in his stead, particularly in the playmaking and scoring departments.
