Here’s the latest on TCU star freshman R.J. Nembhard

TCU freshman guard R.J. Nembhard is back practicing with the team after dealing with an ankle injury. He’s practiced with the team the past two days.

Nembhard hasn’t played in a month while battling minor knee and ankle injuries. The season-ending injury to guard Jaylen Fisher has made a redshirt season unlikely for Nembhard, a top recruit from Keller High School.

But he’s only played in six games, the last coming Dec. 22 against William & Mary. As of now, Nembhard could still redshirt the season if he didn’t play in another game. NCAA rules limit players to playing in no more than 30 percent of the games in a season. Additionally, a player is not eligible for a redshirt if he plays in a game after the midpoint of a season. The Horned Frogs (15-5, 3-5 in the Big 12) are past the halfway point. TCU plays at Vanderbilt at 3 p.m. Saturday as part of the Big 12-SEC Challenge.
