UWGB guard Jaxon Edwards will miss 2026-27 season with torn ACL

Summary

University of Wisconsin-Green Bay men’s basketball player Jaxon Edwards will miss the entire 2026-27 season following a torn ACL. Edwards sustained the injury during a pickup game on August 30 after the conclusion of an elite high school camp at the Kress Center. Initially believed to be a dislocated knee, an MRI confirmed the ligament tear. This injury marks the second significant setback for the team this offseason, as forward-center Jalen Overway also tore his ACL and meniscus during summer training. Coach Doug Gottlieb stated that the team intends to help Edwards appeal for an additional year of eligibility, though the deadline for medical hardship waivers passed on July 31. The university plans to support his surgical recovery and rehabilitation alongside Overway.
