Crocker injured his right ankle early in Saturday's win over Missouri.

Oklahoma’s men’s basketball team has, for the most part, avoided the flood of injuries that contributed to the football team suffering five losses, but the Sooners were forced to play most of Saturday’s win over Missouri without their second leading scorer, Tony Crocker.

Crocker rolled his ankle in the game’s first few minutes, and briefly returned, but couldn’t continue. He’s expected to play on Tuesday against Texas A&M.

Before Monday’s practice, he offered an update on his status:

David Ubben: How’s the ankle feel two days later?
Tony Crocker: Pretty good, I’ve been taking some anti-inflammatories and icing it and getting treatment, so it’s good.

DU: How did it feel to try and return, were you just not yourself?
TC: Well, it was hurting real bad, just walking and stuff like that, so we took some tape off and re-taped it, and I was just sitting there and I really just wanted to play, because it’s my last year and I want to do everything I can to help the team win. But, it was better for me to sit off and just let the other guys play who could play. I just did what I could, and cheered for my teammates.
