"Anderson left the Red Raiders' Big 12 tournament loss to Iowa State on Thursday early after losing his footing on the glass court. He slipped on an inbounds pass and immediately grabbed at his groin area, eventually limping to the sideline and not returning to the game."
"Anderson, a 6-foot-3 guard from Atlanta, was recently named the Big 12's most improved player and earned a spot on the league's all-conference first team. He averaged 18.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists, ranking fourth nationally in the latter category."
"Texas Tech lost All-American forward JT Toppin to a torn ACL in February, an injury that put more of the offensive load on Anderson. The Red Raiders (22-10, 12-6 Big 12) are likely to land a 4-seed or 5-seed in the NCAA tournament."
