Robbie Avila is done for the day in his season and collegiate debut with Saint Louis following an injury.

During the Billikens’ matchup with Santa Clara this afternoon, Avila went down with an injury to his right leg as he tweaked his ankle while making a pass in the lane. With that, two staff members helped him off of the court and he didn’t return to the game with just minutes left in the second half.

The Broncos would go on to take it by a final score of 85-78 in the game during the Field of 68 Showcase from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Before his exit, Avila had scored 16 points, tied with two other players for second-most for the team, on 6-10 from the field while posting a team-high tying number of assists with six, five rebounds, two blocks, and a steal.

Avila was one of the top transfers from this past offseason in the portal. He was the No. 20 overall transfer per On3’s 2024 College Basketball Top Transfer Portal Players following two seasons at Indiana State.

While with the Sycamores, Avila started in 66 of 71 appearances and averaged 14.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists while shooting 53.7% from the field. That included last season where he improved his statistics to post career-highs at 17.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists on 53.6% overall from the field and 39.4% shooting from three. During his time in Terre Haute, Avila earned honors such as All-MVC First Team, MVC Championship All-Tournament Team, NIT All-Tournament Team, and MVC All-Freshman Team.

Avila will now have a few days to recover before Saint Louis’ second game on Sunday when they play Avila University (NAIA).
