Texas Gets Major Boost as Tramon Mark and Lassina Traore Cleared for Full Return
The Texas Longhorns received exciting news on the basketball front, as head coach Sean Miller confirmed that Tramon Mark (shoulder) and Lassina Traore (knee) have both been fully cleared for all basketball-related activities.
Mark, a dynamic guard known for his scoring ability and defensive presence, had been sidelined with a shoulder injury, while Traore, the team’s promising forward, was recovering from a knee issue. Their return to full health is a significant boost to the Longhorns’ depth, versatility, and competitiveness heading into the upcoming season.
Coach Miller expressed optimism about their impact, highlighting the leadership and experience they bring:
> “Having Tramon and Lassina back at 100% changes the entire outlook of our rotation. Their work during rehab has been outstanding, and now they’re ready to contribute right away.”
With both players back in the mix, Texas gains critical options on both ends of the floor. Mark’s ability to create shots and lock down opposing guards, paired with Traore’s rebounding and interior presence, could make the Longhorns a formidable force in the Big 12.
Fans will be eager to see how the pair meshes with Texas’ new recruits and returning core as the team looks to make a deep postseason run.
