Huskers Lean on Next-Man-Up Depth After Frager Injury

Nebraska weathered Braden Frager’s ankle sprain by implementing a ‘next-man-up’ approach and pulling away to beat Washington 76-66, extending the unbeaten streak to 19-0. Pryce Sandfort led with 23 points as NU benefited from balanced scoring and improved pace, even as coach Fred Hoiberg signals continued lineup tinkering. With Minnesota and then Michigan on a tight schedule, the Huskers face a test of depth and continuity as Frager’s status remains uncertain.

Knicks' playoff hopes uncertain with Julius Randle's injury update.

New York Knicks' All-Star forward Julius Randle will miss at least the final five games of the regular season and possibly the start of the playoffs due to a sprained left ankle. Randle, the team's leading scorer, suffered the injury in Wednesday's win over the Miami Heat. The Knicks have relied on their "next man up" mentality all season, with several starters missing games due to injury, and coach Tom Thibodeau said replacing Randle will be a "collective effort." The team will have to wait and see if Randle will be available for the start of the playoffs, which begin no earlier than April 15.
