The King’s Academy star Boss Mhoon to miss time with ankle injury
SUNNYVALE — One of the Bay Area’s top boys basketball players will be sidelined for the next few weeks.
The King’s Academy star sophomore Boss Mhoon will miss time with a fractured ankle, the school announced via an Instagram post over the weekend.
“Unfortunately, (Boss) did indeed fracture his ankle and will be out for a few weeks,” TKA’s boys basketball account said in an Instagram post. “The team is rooting for a healthy recovery!”
According to the post, Mhoon injured his ankle in the championship game of the Damian Lillard Classic against Oakland High last Tuesday. He went for a block and rolled his ankle on the way down, but later returned to the game.
Mhoon put up a valiant performance even with the injury. He scored 32 points, grabbed seven rebounds, dished out four assists and blocked two shots while hitting 12-of-13 free throw attempts en route to winning tournament MVP.
“I was just going off pure adrenaline at that point,” Mhoon said after the game.
Mhoon, a four-star prospect, is one of the area’s top players. He currently holds offers from Stanford, San Francisco, San Diego and Nevada.
As a freshman, Mhoon helped TKA get to the Division III state championship game. He’s been the star of a team that has gotten to a 10-1 start this season.
TKA will play McClatchy on Saturday before opening league play against Crystal Springs Uplands next Tuesday.
