UConn guard Andre Jackson is expected to return from surgery on his broken right pinky by Thanksgiving, if not sooner, coach Dan Hurley told CBS Sports.
Jackson broke the finger during a recent practice and underwent surgery on Wednesday, according to the program.
UConn plays Oregon in Portland, Ore. on Thanksgiving as part of the first day of the Phil Knight Invitational. The Huskies’ season begins Nov. 7 against Stonehill.
Jackson, a junior, started 32 of 33 games for UConn last year and averaged 6.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
