Though basketball is still in its offseason period, Longhorn Nation hasn't forgotten about star point guard Tramon Mark's shoulder and newly acquired forward Lassina Traore's knee injuries this offseason.
After month's of waiting, it looks like both have finally been fully cleared to participate in team activites:
"Texas' Tramon Mark (shoulder) and Lassina Traore (knee) are both fully cleared for all basketball related activities, per Sean Miller.Jon Rothstein
Mark averaged 10.6 PPG and 3.7 RPG last season.
Traore DNP last season due to injury, but averaged 11.9 PPG and 10.3 RPG during 2023-24."

Mark figures to be a key cog in the Longhorns' offensive attack in 2025, possibly being the main playmaker for Sean Miller and Co. in Miller's inaugural season as the team's Head Coach. His insane length and above-average processing skills are two of the main reasons why Tramon Mark could be deadly as Texas' lead guard in the upcoming season.
Traore transferred to Texas from Xavier in April, after being one of the top players in the Big West conference at LIU in 2023/2024. He averaged a dominant 11.9 PPG and 10.3 RPG in 2023, as one of the most physical frontcourt presences in the game.
Both of these players have their sights set on winning in 2025, and they'll undoubtedly play big parts in the success of the Longhorns' upcoming season.
