Josh Perkins unfortunately will not be able to enjoy his Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Perkins, a freshman point guard for Gonzaga, got kicked in the face Wednesday by Georgia’s Kenny Gaines during the teams’ NIT semifinal at Madison Square Garden.

Ouch.

The blow left Perkins with a broken jaw, which had to be wired shut. He will be out indefinitely, Gonzaga coach Mark Few told ESPN.com.

Perkins is averaging 6.3 points and 4.3 assists per game off the bench for the Zags this season.
