Tommy Ahneman sidelined for weeks with wrist injury for Notre Dame basketball

Notre Dame basketball sophomore Tommy Ahneman will miss six to eight weeks due to a right wrist injury sustained during a game against Eastern Illinois on November 9. Ahneman, who missed last season due to knee surgery, became an important part of the team's rotation this year. He averaged 4.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11.6 minutes over three games. His absence increases the pressure on starter Logan Duncomb, who is also recovering from a knee injury. Notre Dame must explore options to fill the backup center position, with Rutgers transfer Bryce Ruglass-Dortch and freshman Gan Solongo among the candidates to step up.
