Good news ahead of MAC play for the Bulls.
Jonah Bronstein is reporting that Tra’von Fagan may be coming back from a knee injury for MAC play, and that would be huge for this team that has struggled with frontcourt depth with Brock Bertram also injured.
UB Jr. F Tra'Von Fagan has been cleared to practice following offseason knee surgery. Bulls optimistic he can return to bolster frontline by start of MAC play in January.
