Wake Forest is finally catching a break after a miserable start to its basketball season. Freshman point guard  Tony Chennault will make his return from a broken left foot on Wednesday at Georgia Tech, the school announced Wednesday afternoon.

Chennault broke the fifth metatarsal in his left foot in the Demon Deacons’ season opener against Stetson on Nov. 12. He is the only true point guard on the Wake roster and the Deacons have struggled the first half of this season.

Chennault missed much of the preseason with a stress reaction in the foot. After the season-opening injury, Chennault had surgery Nov. 15.

“To his credit, here is a young man who is not in optimum shape who hasn’t even gone through a full week of practice, who hasn’t even run some of the plays we’re running, has gotten zero reps with certain things,” Wake Forest head coach Jeff Bzdelik said in a statement. “But he is so unselfish and so team-oriented that he knows he can just help us in spot minutes as he continues to get in shape and continues to learn.

“He’s put his pride aside for the well-being of this team. And that is a great testimony to his leadership and what he’s going to bring to the future of this program in a huge way.”

Chennault, from Philadelphia, had six points and three assists in 13 minutes in the season opener against Stetson.

Wake Forest is at Georgia Tech Wednesday at 7 p.m.  The Deacons are 0-3 in ACC play and 7-11 overall.
