(Radio Iowa) – Drake coach Darian DeVries says senior point guard Roman Penn will try to play the rest of this season with an injured foot. Penn returned to the lineup this week after missing nearly a month after suffering as small fracture in his left foot.

DeVries says Penn’s conditioning is a question because he will be limited in practice.

Penn’s injury is one of the factors that has seen Drake under achieve this season. The preseason Valley favorites are 11-5 overall and 2-1 in conference play.

Drake hosts Illinois State Wednesday night.
