The junior, who broke his left foot December 9 against Penn State in the Atlantic City Shootout, was slated to possibly return to the lineup in early February after being x-rayed on January 2. However, when Lyren was reexamined Thursday, doctors determined the foot was healing more slowly than at first thought. Lyren's foot will not even be looked at again for another two weeks. The 6-foot-3 Lyren, who started the season as the Quakers' point guard, was averaging 7.8 points and 3.3 assists per game with only six turnovers in four games when he went down in the closing moments against the Nittany Lions.
