Dancing With The Stars Star Alfonso Ribeiro Gives Positive Update After Ankle Injury

Ribeiro's Ankle Injury During DWTS Special

Alfonso Ribeiro, best known for his role as Carlton Banks on the hit sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," recently injured his ankle while filming a special episode of "Dancing With the Stars." The injury occurred during rehearsals for the show's 25th-anniversary special, which is set to air later this month.

Ribeiro was reportedly performing a complex dance move when he landed awkwardly and twisted his ankle. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where he underwent X-rays and an MRI. The results of the tests revealed that Ribeiro had suffered a sprain, but no broken bones.

Ribeiro's Recovery and Return to DWTS

Ribeiro has since been released from the hospital and is now recovering at home. He is expected to make a full recovery and will be able to return to filming the DWTS special as scheduled.

In a statement released through his publicist, Ribeiro said that he is "feeling much better" and is "looking forward to getting back on the dance floor." He also thanked his fans for their support and well wishes.

Ribeiro's History with DWTS

Ribeiro is no stranger to "Dancing With the Stars." He competed on the show's 19th season in 2014 and finished in sixth place. He also returned to the show in 2019 for the show's 27th season, where he finished in fourth place.

Ribeiro's success on DWTS is due in part to his natural dancing ability and his infectious personality. He is a crowd favorite and is always a joy to watch on the dance floor.
