Dancing with the Stars star Alfonso Ribeiro is one of the front runners for the mirrorball trophy, but his path to the title's now in jeopardy after another injury has sidelined him from practice.

According to TMZ, the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star hurt his back in rehearsal trying to overcompensate for a groin injury he suffered when he did the "Carlton Dance" earlier in the season.

He had to even skip run-throughs the next day to get an MRI since he can barely walk. His doctors will be monitoring him for a few days to see if he can dance Monday night.

When he had the groin injury, he told E! News he would do everything he could to pull through and not disappoint his friends and family.

"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 said. "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."

The actor tweeted Saturday for his fans to keep up the hope while he battles the injury.

"Hey #TeamWitfonso thanks 4 all the love," the actor wrote. "I'm working really hard to be able to dance Monday. Keep the prayers coming. Love you all."

His wife Angela Ribeiro also posted an update on her Twitter page regarding her husband's injury: "Went to rehearsal to help massage my hubby's back during breaks. He's much better today, thankfully. #TeamWitfonso."
