"It has been determined that OG Anunoby will undergo surgery on his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season," IU Coach Tom Crean said in the tweet. "He is expected to make a complete recovery. For a young man, OG has a very strong faith and courageous spirit. We are going to do everything as a basketball family to help him recover and rehabilitate from this unfortunate situation."
The 6-foot-8 forward from Jefferson City, Missouri, sustained the injury with fewer than 10 seconds left in the first half against Penn State on Wednesday and did not return to the game.
Anunoby was averaging 11.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 25 minutes through the first 16 games this season. His 21 blocks on the year rank second on the team. He was also shooting 56 percent from the floor this season.
