Iowa Hawkeyes 2022 signee Josh Dix suffered a scary injury that ended his high school career. On Jan. 21 with his Council Bluffs Lincoln squad leading Le Mars 52-33 and 1:45 remaining, Dix went up to block a shot, found his legs tangled and wound up landing awkwardly.
What resulted was Dix suffering a broken tibia and broken fibula, the same injury Paul George suffered in 2014. Naturally, that put his true freshman season—or at least the start of it—in question with the Hawkeyes.
Iowa head men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery said he’s expecting Dix back, full-go to start the month of September. On Tuesday, Dix met with the Iowa media and discussed the injury, his rehab and when he expects to fully integrate into the Hawkeyes’ rotation.
