UCLA men’s basketball player Travis Wear injures foot while snorkeling

In the crazy world that is sports, athletes have found some rather unique ways to injure themselves. The latest comes to us from the world of college basketball as UCLA sophomore Travis Wear injured his right foot while snorkeling.

Wear and his UCLA teammates were in Hawaii for the Maui Invitational where during one of the off days, Wear decided that snorkeling was a good idea:

In a season already gone awry for UCLA, the pain became literal on Thursday when sophomore forward Travis Wear cut his right foot while snorkeling in Maui and required five stitches.

Wear, the Bruins’ second-leading scorer who is averaging 10.4 points per game, will not practice Saturday and will be reevaluated Monday, when UCLA plays host to Pepperdine at the Los Angeles Sports Arena.

Note to all future college basketball players, stay away from snorkeling if you dare!
