WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) – Purdue star forward Robbie Hummel will miss the upcoming season after injuring his right knee again.
The school said he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in practice Saturday. This is the same knee he hurt Feb. 24 against Minnesota that knocked him out for the rest of last season. He had surgery in March and had hoped to be ready for his senior season.
Hummel is Purdue’s most versatile player. Last season, he averaged 15.7 points and 6.9 rebounds a game. The Boilermakers were ranked No. 3 in the nation when he was hurt. They struggled at first without him before recovering to reach the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.
Hummel also missed significant time his sophomore year with a back injury.
