While his timetable for return is still up in the air, the Clemson coaching staff is optimistic he could return sometime in November. Hall was set to be one of the better frontcourt players in the ACC this season and he could be the difference in a good or bad season for the Tigers.

The hope is that PJ Hall can make a successful recovery quickly and return to action early in the college basketball season. His return could be the difference in the program’s evaluation of Head Coach Brad Brownwell who is rumored to be on the hot seat this season. Hall is a talented player and hopefully, he is able to return to his former self. We here at Def Pen Sports wish him the best in his recovery and return to the court this season.
