Drake guard Ricks Jr. to miss rest of season

Drake senior Gary Ricks Jr. will miss the rest of the season with a fractured bone in his left foot, the school announced Wednesday.

Ricks, a 6-foot-1 guard, had been the perfect complement to big-time scorer Richard Carter. Ricks was the team's second-leading scorer (12.3 ppg), leading assist man (3.6 apg), best 3-point shooter (45 percent) – and also contributed on the glass, averaging 3.8 rebounds per game.
