RENO (AP) - Nevada star forward Nick Fazekas has a severely sprained ankle and is "extremely doubtful" for Thursday's game at San Jose State.

"I don't know how bad it is," coach Mark Fox said Tuesday. "He'll be on the mend for a while."

The coach said he hadn't decided if Fazekas would travel to San Jose (1-13) on Thursday and to Hawaii (9-5) for a Saturday game.

Fazekas, a 6-foot-11 senior, landed on another player's foot and left just before halftime of the No. 19 Wolf Pack's 90-86 win over Boise State on Monday night.

X-rays found no broken bones, but Fox said he was concerned because this is the same left ankle Fazekas hurt against Akron last month.

Nevada is 14-1 and 2-0 in the Western Athletic Conference.
