CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson starting forward James Mays
missed Tuesday night's game against Purdue because of a hip injury.
Mays fell hard on his hip midway through the second half of the
18th-ranked Tigers' 96-67 victory over Gardner-Webb on Saturday. He
returned to the game briefly.
After the game, coach Oliver Purnell said Mays had a sprained
hip and was being bothered by a sore back that started hurting
earlier this month.
Mayes, a senior, is averaging almost 15.0 points and 9.0
rebounds a game.
