NC State guard Thomas Allen to miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season

NC State men's basketball redshirt junior guard Thomas Allen will miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season due to an ankle injury according to a release from the program Tuesday.

Allen has been out of the lineup since the Wolfpack's home loss to Duke on Feb. 13.

"We'll always do the right thing for our players," head coach Kevin Keatts said in a released statement. "After consulting with our doctors, I think shutting down Thomas for the rest of the season is the right decision. Thomas was injured in practice a few weeks ago and his ankle just hasn't healed enough to play him. We're at the point now where we need to keep him off his feet and in a few weeks, we'll re-evaluate and decide on what the next steps are."

Allen averaged 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game this season. The 6-1 guard also started in 15 of his 17 appearances this year.

Allen becomes the second veteran Wolfpack guard in the 2020-21 campaign to suffer a season-ending injury. Fifth-year senior guard Devon Daniels suffered an ACL tear in the Pack's home win over Wake Forest on Jan. 27.
