Warriors 2022 draft pick to miss Summer League with foot injury

Guard Ryan Rollins, the No. 44 overall pick in last week's draft, will miss Summer League with a foot injury.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors will have to table the opportunity to get a look at one of their 2022 second-round draft picks for a later date.

Former Toledo guard Ryan Rollins, the No. 44 overall pick in last week’s draft, will miss Summer League with a foot injury, the Warriors announced Wednesday.

The Warriors training staff discovered Rollins had a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during his on-boarding medical evaluation. Rollins said after practice that he was surprised to hear he had a stress fracture since he doesn’t feel it. He said him sitting out Summer League is more of a precautionary move by the organization.

Rollins, who will turn 20 Sunday, will be re-evaluated again later this month at the end of Summer League in Las Vegas.

The Warriors sent the Hawks the 51st pick, which turned into UConn guard Tyrese Martin, and $2 million to trade up for Rollins, a 6-foot-4 combo guard with an impressive 6-foot-10 wingspan.

Rollins was named to the Mid-Major All-American Team and First-Team All-MAC team in his sophomore season. The four-time MAC Player of the Week averaged 18.9 points on 46.8% shooting in 34 games last season as a starter for the Rockets.

Rollins is the first player to be drafted from Toledo since 1998, when the Philadelphia 76ers took Casey Shaw with the 37th overall pick.
