Hoopville — Texas sophomore guard Varez Ward injured his knee during warmups before the Longhorns’ 78-62 win against Pittsburgh in the CBE Classic, according to an Associated Press report. He collapsed while waiting his turn in a layup line, and he could not leave the court on his own, needing a gurney to take him to the locker room.
