Hoosiers lose Anunoby for season
Indiana Hoosiers forward OG Anunoby will undergo surgery on his right knee and will miss the rest of the season, coach Tom Crean announced Friday.
“We’ve been in these situations before, but it’s uncharted for this team,” Crean said. “Certainly the Collin Hartman [ knee] injury was hard, but it was in the preseason and they didn’t get to see what Collin brought to this team. But they did get to see what OG brought to this team.”
The 6- 8, 235- pound sophomore was injured late in the first half of the Hoosiers’ victory at Penn State on Wednesday while battling for an offensive rebound.
“It’s been a long couple of days for everybody, hard for him, hard for all of us,” Crean said. “If everything goes as expected, he’ll have a 100 percent recovery.”
Some thought Anunoby might declare for the NBA draft after last season, but he returned and was averaging 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds.
Indiana ( 13- 6, 3- 3 Big Ten) hosts Michigan State ( 12- 7, 4- 2) on Saturday.
