Former Syracuse standout Eric Devendorf will not finish the 2026 edition of The Basketball Tournament, commonly known as TBT, after sustaining a knee injury in a recent matchup.
The Injury Blow
The setback occurred during Boeheim's Army's 81‑76 win over Seton Hall alumni, a game that showcased the team's resilience but also exposed depth concerns.
Despite the victory, the win highlighted a thin roster heading into the quarterfinals, where Boeheim's Army is slated to face Kentucky alumni squad La Familia, a clash that carries a winner‑take‑all $2 million prize.
With the tournament's prize pool at stake, the team is exploring the possibility of adding a player from a newly created reserve list to shore up the lineup.
Devendorf, a perennial leading scorer in TBT history, will remain on the road with the squad, transitioning from the court to a coaching role as he continues to travel with the team.
His presence on the bench could prove vital as the team navigates the high pressure of the knockout stage, blending veteran insight with fresh talent.
