Backup Harvard point guard Matt Fraschilla is out for the year with a torn ACL, the junior announced Tuesday on Instagram.
Fraschilla, the team’s third option at the position behind classmate Corbin Miller and freshman starter Tommy McCarthy, played just one minute in Providence before getting caught in a collision near half court. The junior left the game immediately, walking off the court on his own, and came back to the court with ice bags on his knees. Fraschilla did not play in Tuesday’s 67-61 loss to UMass, and posted later that night announcing his injury.
“Just wanted to update everyone on my situation at the moment so this is the easiest way,” Fraschilla wrote. “On Saturday night during our game at Providence, I had a hard collision and after the tests came back today, I found I tore my ACL and will miss the rest of the year. It’s a tough blow to find this out after working towards this opportunity but I’ll be alright.”
Fraschilla has played just 77 minutes in his Harvard career, making four field goals. In the team’s first three halves since he was injured, Miller and McCarthy played every minute at the point, with sophomore guard Andre Chatfield and freshman guard Corey Johnson accompanying them on the wing.
The Harvard Athletic Department had no comment on the injury.
