Virginia Tech announced freshman Chris Clarke suffered a fracture to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot while working out on Wednesday over Christmas break. The 6-6 wing will have surgery performed by team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tony McPherron on December 29 at LewisGale Montgomery Hospital in Blacksburg. Clarke's status for the remainder of the season is uncertain until his surgery is completed.

"I feel terrible for Chris. He has strived very hard to get where he is," head coach Buzz Williams said in a release. "He is an outstanding player who is a better person. I know that with the values instilled by his parents, he will work hard to come back strong from this unfortunate situation."

Clarke is averaging 10.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 25.7 minutes per game (11 appearances) this season.

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.
