Purdue’s Hummel out for season with torn ACL

Purdue senior forward Robbie Hummel will miss the 2010-11 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament – the same injury that sidelined him for the end of last season.

“This is obviously disappointing for Robbie, as well as our team, since he worked so hard to return from the tear he suffered in February,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said in a statement.

“As he begins his rehab and recovery, we’ll persevere together and provide Robbie with all the support possible. I have no doubt he’ll continue to play a pivotal role this season as a leader of our team.”
