Gonzaga’s Killian Tillie has Partially torn plantar fascia, Mark Few told @Stadium. Few anticipates Tillie will miss rest of regular season, hopeful can return for postseason.

Head coach Mark Few is hopeful he can return for the postseason.

The junior forward missed time while recovering from a stress fracture in his ankle at the beginning of 2018-19. The Frenchman played in just nine games before suffering his injury. He averaged 12.9 points and 5.9 rebounds in 2016-17 as the Bulldogs' second-leading scorer.

Tillie only managed 6.0 points and 4.2 rebounds throughout his limited showings since his return from the fracture.

Gonzaga is ranked No. 3 in the nation and boasts a 22-2 record.

While losing a key piece for the year may lower the team's ceiling, the Bulldogs will focus on extending their 13-game winning streak against Saint Mary's on Saturday.
