The Clemson Insider confirmed guard Clyde Trapp torn his ACL.

A source told us the junior tore his ACL in practice on Friday as the Tigers were preparing for the World University Games in Italy next week.

Clemson officially announced Trapp tore his ACL later Friday evening, when an MRI confirmed the tear. There is no timetable yet for Trapp’s return. He will not travel with the team to Italy for the World University Games.

“This is tough and unfortunate for Clyde and our team,” Clemson head coach Brad Brownell said in a statement. “Clyde is a very hard worker and was putting together a strong summer. I know he will continue that momentum when he returns to action.”

The Tigers will play in Pool C of the World University Games, with their first game coming next Thursday (July 4) against Finland in Naples, Italy. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m., eastern standard time.

Trapp is the second basketball player in the last month to tear his ACL. Forward Jonathan Baehre tore his ACL in practice on May 20. Baehre has since had surgery and is beginning rehab. There is no timetable set on his return at this point, either.

This is another blow for the Clemson basketball program, which has continued to have its share of bad luck when it comes to injuries. This past season, former guards Marcquise Reed and Shelton Mitchell missed time with knee injuries.

In 2018, the Tigers lost forward Donte Grantham for the year after he tore his ACL in a January game against Notre Dame.

Baehre, who redshirt last season after transferring to Clemson, was expected to take over the reigns as the Tigers’ top scorer. But his injury was a setback and he will be forced to miss the World University Games, though he will travel with the team, according to Brownell.

Trapp is one of Clemson’s two most experienced players returning from last year’s team, joining forward Aamir Simms.

The 6-foot-4 junior guard appeared in a career-high 34 games last season, finishing out the postseason as the team’s starting point guard due to Mitchell’s knee injury. Trapp played in 29 games as a freshman, playing as a key reserve for a team that advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament during the 2017-’18 season.
