DWTS Alfonso Ribeiro May Have To Pull Out Of The Competition

This is sad! Let’s hope Alfonso is going to be ok! From TMZ….

Our DWTS sources say Ribeiro injured his back during rehearsal Wednesday night as he tried to overcompensate for a groin injury which he suffered on the show, performing his signature move.

The back injury is bad — he’s having trouble even walking. Alfonso skipped rehearsals Thursday so he could get an MRI.

Doctors are telling him the next 48 hours are critical, but they say there’s a real chance he can’t dance.

Here is a little more from US Weekly

As of Friday morning, Nov. 14, the 43-year-old actor was still attending — but not participating in — rehearsals for his upcoming routine with pro partner Witney Carson. A source told Us he was watching Carson dance with a stand-in, and hoped to learn the steps visually. However, producers are “worried he could cause long-term damage to his back,” the insider said.

ETA: Below is an update from Entertainment Tonight for what they are hearing. Also, Alfonso’s wife tweeted last night that he was “feeling better” (Thanks Heidi and Lori). You can see a rehearsal picture and her tweet at this link.
