Texas G Mikey Lewis fractured his foot in practice

The high expectations surrounding the 2026-27 season for the Texas Longhorns suffered a blow on Wednesday when the school announced that junior guard Mikey Lewis fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during practice this week.

Projected as the lead guard and microwave scorer off the bench for Texas, Lewis is an Oakland product who played his high school basketball at Prolific Prep in Napa, signing with Saint Mary’s over high-major offers from schools like Arizona State, Cal, Illinois, Kansas, LSU, Ole Miss, TCU, and Washington in a huge coup for former head coach Randy Bennett.
