‘Dancing With The Stars’ To Lose Alfonso Ribeiro As Cast Member Following Groin Injury?

Tags

"Dancing With The Stars" season 19 has a handful of cast members that we are emotionally invested in. 

One of those cast members would be "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star Alfonso Ribeiro, who has made the hearts of "Dancing With The Stars" fans stop after suffering an injury just days before the semifinals, according to E! News

The 43-year-old is reportedly currently under medical evaluation, but doctors have yet to determine whether or not the actor will be able to perform as a cast member on "Dancing With The Stars." The television actor is reportedly paired with professional dancer Witney Carson for the hit ABC show. 

Alfonso Ribeiro reportedly had to skip rehearsal on Thursday to get a MRI after suffering a back injury, according to the media outlet Ace Show Biz. Hopefully Carson will be able to help Ribeiro out when it comes to a quick recovery as she reportedly injured her back during rehearsal back in October as well. 

The former sitcom actor has reportedly been supported by his pregnant wife Angela Unkrich throughout this season. 

"Went to rehearsal to help massage my hubby's back during breaks. He's much better today, thankfully. #Teamwitfonso," tweeted Unkrich. 

Ribeiro had injured himself previously on the show. The actor turned dancer reportedly injured his groin in October during a dress rehearsal, but he was able to dance through the pain that time. 

"On the dance floor, we give it our all and we hold nothing back and we do everything we can to deliver the best performance that we can regardless of whether we're in pain or not," he told E! News. 

Despite the ongoing injuries, Ribeiro reassured fans that he's doing better day by day. 

"I'm doing a lot of treatment every week. I get a ton of treatment. We've got a great therapist here. I've got a doctor that I go to. I'm doing everything I can just to maintain and try to keep it going. It's a lot of work and it's tiresome, but as long as we keep going, I'm OK," stated Ribeiro.
