Randall sprains ankle during scrimmage

Pitt senior center Derrick Randall sprained his left ankle during the first half of Pitt’s Blue-Gold Scrimmage Sunday afternoon at the Petersen Events Center.

While running down the court during a change in possession, Randall collided with point guard James Robinson and fell to the ground, where he lay for several minutes. After receiving immediate treatment, a trainer and a manager helped Randall off the floor.

Randall sat behind his team’s bench for the remainder of the game with a bag of ice wrapped around his elevated foot. After the final buzzer, he exited the gym on crutches.

There is no timetable for Randall’s recovery. Randall averaged two points and two rebounds last season as a reserve to starting center Talib Zanna. Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon has not announced a starting lineup for this season, but Randall figures to compete with junior centers Joe Uchebo and Tyrone Haughton for playing time off the bench.
