UConn forward Nik Khamenia will be sidelined for about 6-8 weeks after suffering a left foot injury that will require surgery, the school announced.
Khamenia, who’s a transfer from Duke, suffered the injury in the first half of UConn’s 83-41 win over Wagner on Monday.
“Nik will have surgery in the coming days and is expected to make a full recovery,” UConn head coach Dan Hurley said in the release. “He will be reevaluated in 6-8 weeks.”
Across UConn’s first three games to start the season, the California native has averaged 10.7 points and 3.0 rebounds per game on roughly 62% shooting from the field.
The Huskies will have their first test since losing one of their top forwards on Friday, as they’ll host Ohio State and continue their non-conference gauntlet this winter.
