What happened: Onsi Saleh expressed sympathy regarding Henri Veesaar missing the upcoming season, noting the original plan was for him to spend significant time in College Park. Saleh emphasized there are still ways for the prospect to learn while recovering.

Why it matters: The forward tore his right ACL during a workout earlier in September, ending his 2026-27 campaign. The organization had envisioned him gaining experience with their G League affiliate, which will now shift to a developmental focus from the sidelines.

What to watch: Veesaar will undergo surgery and begin a lengthy rehabilitation process ahead of the 2027 season.
