The Truck might not be parked, after all.

West Virginia's medical staff is looking at options that could allow point guard Darryl "Truck" Bryant to play in the Mountaineers' first Final Four since 1959.

Bryant broke his right foot during practice Tuesday and was expected to miss the rest of the NCAA tournament. He didn't play against Washington in the East Regional semifinals or against Kentucky in the final on Saturday, but could be able to return next weekend in the national semifinals.

Bryant hasn't been cleared to play, but West Virginia trainer Randy Meador told The Sporting News that Bryant might wear a specially designed shoe that would shift weight away from his fractured fifth metatarsal.
