Dancing with the Stars' Alfonso Ribeiro Injured, Now Using Wheelchair

Alfonso Ribeiro, best known for his role as Carlton Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is now using a wheelchair after suffering an injury while rehearsing for Dancing with the Stars.

Ribeiro, 51, injured his foot while practicing a dance routine with his partner Witney Carson.

The injury occurred during rehearsals for the show's premiere on September 19.

Ribeiro was taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a torn plantar fascia.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes. A tear in the plantar fascia can cause severe pain and make it difficult to walk.

Ribeiro is expected to make a full recovery, but he will be unable to dance for several weeks.

In a statement, Ribeiro said that he is "devastated" by the injury, but he is "determined to come back stronger than ever." He also thanked his fans for their support.

Ribeiro's injury is a major setback for Dancing with the Stars.

Ribeiro is one of the most popular contestants on the show, and his injury could hurt the show's ratings.

However, Ribeiro is a determined and resilient individual.

He is expected to make a full recovery and return to Dancing with the Stars stronger than ever.
