Arizona State Sun Devils center Jayden Quaintance is going to miss some time after rolling his ankle in Sunday’s loss against Oklahoma State, head coach Bobby Hurley told Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta on Tuesday.

“Feel awful for Jayden. He was just sprinting down the middle of the floor and kind of got taken out and his legs undercut,” Hurley said. “He rolled his ankle pretty good. There was quite a bit of swelling in there. Was just hoping for the best when we got him to campus for his doctor’s appointment yesterday and the imaging that we took.

“Everything was fairly positive on that end, but he’s going to be out for a period of time now to let all that swelling quiet down. He’s got an ankle sprain right now.”

The freshman recorded three points, three steals and a block in nine minutes before leaving Sunday’s matchup.

It’s the same ankle Quaintance tweaked in practice ahead of ASU’s loss to then-No.3 Iowa State in January. Quaintance ended up playing through the injury against Iowa State, but missed ASU’s following game at Colorado.

In 22 games played (all starts), Quaintance is averaging 9.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.8 blocks across 30.4 minutes per game.

Reinforcements on the way with Quaintance sidelined

While Quaintance’s timeline for a return is up in the air, the same can’t be said for senior guards Adam Miller and BJ Freeman.

Hurley expects the pair back for ASU’s game against Texas Tech on Wednesday after both were suspended for the Oklahoma State game.

“We saw both guys yesterday at the facility. Both guys got some work in on their own. We’ve moved past that,” Hurley said. “It’s been a tough stretch. A lot of frustration, a lot of close losses. Both guys were very contrite about how they felt about the situation. They’re just excited to get back with the group today and practice.”

Miller was ejected during the Sun Devils’ 71-70 loss to Kansas State and received a flagrant 2 foul. It was ruled a fighting ejection, implementing the suspension.

Freeman sat out against the Cowboys due to conduct detrimental to the team.
