Alfonso Ribeiro is determined to perform as scheduled on "Dancing with the Stars" Monday, November 17 despite injury. He asked his Twitter followers for prayers, "Hey #TeamWitfonso thanks 4 all the love. I'm working really hard to be able to dance Monday. Keep the prayers coming. Love you all."

Alfonso who has become one of the frontrunners on the dancing contest got support from his pregnant wife, Angela. She accompanied her hubby to rehearsal and posted a picture from the pre-show session, "Went to rehearsal to help massage my hubby's back during breaks. He's much better today, thankfully. #TeamWitfonso."

The "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star, 43, is paired with professional dancer Witney Carson on the "DWTS" season 19. The sitcom actor skipped rehearsal on Thursday to get a MRI after suffering from a back injury the day before. His dancing partner, Carson, also injured her back during rehearsal back in October.
