On the defensive end of the court against Oklahoma, Pryor was clipped by one of his teammates, senior point guard Chucky Hepburn, who fell to the ground while trying to guard a driving Jeremiah Fears. Pryor went down, too, and pounded the court in pain.

With the assistance of a couple of U of L staff members, the 6-foot-10, 225-pound Chicago native limped back to the team’s locker room at Atlantis Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas with 19:02 to play in regulation. Sometime around the seven-minute mark, his father pushed him in a wheelchair back out to the end of the bench, radio play-by-play announcer Jody Demling noted on the Cardinal Sports Network broadcast.

Before going down, Pryor tallied six points on 2-for-9 shooting (1 for 5 from 3-point range), two rebounds, four assists and a steal in 13 minutes against the Sooners. Through seven appearances (three starts) this season, the South Florida transfer was third on the team in scoring with 12 points on 36.8% shooting (5 for 33 from 3) and second in rebounding with 6.1 across 24.7 minutes per contest.
