As we approach the new season, there will be a number of players out to prove themselves. Some had disappointing seasons a year ago, others were plagued by injury woes.Here are six players who missed time because of injury to keep an eye on this season as they return to the court for the 2015-16 campaign.Amile Jefferson, Duke Blue DevilsHe was averaging a double-double (11.4 points, 10.3 rebounds) while shooting 68.3 percent from the field before the injury bug hit. Jefferson missed the final 27 games of the season, and the Blue Devils really missed his inside presence. The right foot fracture which sidelined him has healed, and he will have plenty of help with an outstanding recruiting class coming in.E.C. Matthews, Rhode Island RamsThe 6-foot-5 guard from Detroit was picked as a preseason first team All-Atlantic 10 choice. The dream of a super season came to a crashing halt when he suffered a major right knee injury in the season opener against American. If he can return to his prior form (he averaged 16.9 ppg. during 2014-15 season), the Rams will contend in the A-10.Przemek Karnowski, Gonzaga BulldogsThe Zags big man started the first five games last season before being plagued by a back injury. Coach Mark Few is happy to have the big man back, especially after Domantas Sabonis left early for the NBA. Karnowski received a medical hardship waiver from the WCC, a very good move by the league. He will score and rebound for Gonzaga.JaeSean Tate, Ohio State BuckeyesThe Buckeyes return their top six scorers from last season, including Tate. The 6-foot-4 player suffered a season-ending left shoulder injury which required surgery last February, and the team was 18-10 when he went down. Tate will get his share of points in Columbus this season.Phil Forte, Oklahoma State CowboysThe long-range shooter played in the first three games of the season before suffering an elbow injury that ended his campaign. Forte has 1,307 career points to rank 22nd on the Cowboys all-time scoring list. He will move up the list under new coach Brad Underwood this season.Dylan Ennis, Oregon DucksThe former Villanova player was granted an extra year of eligibility after playing in just two games last season. He recently played for the Ducks on the teams recent exhibition trip to Spain. In the final game of the journey, Ennis scored 10 points while dishing out seven assists. Coach Dana Altman will be happy to have him at his disposal. Jordan Lyles Jersey .
