We're not alone in battling pre-season injuries.

Michigan State’s front court depth took a hit over the weekend.

Ben Carter, a UNLV transfer that the Spartans are counting on to be a low-post scoring presence, suffered a knee injury that will require surgery and sideline him indefinitely.

The injury occurred when he landed awkwardly trying to block a shot.

Carter tore his ACL in January, an injury that ended his final season with the Rebels.

“I feel awful for Ben,” head coach Tom Izzo said in a statement released by the program. “He had worked extremely hard on his rehab and to suffer another knee injury on a fluke play is incredibly cruel.”

With Carter out, senior Gavin Schilling, redshirt sophomore Kenny Goins and freshman Nick Ward will be asked to anchor the front line.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Duke freshman forward Harry Giles underwent a left knee arthroscopy (second time he's had surgery on his left knee) on Monday and is expected to be out six weeks, the team announced.

"We're very pleased with the outcome of today's procedure," head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. "This is the right step for Harry at the moment as it will help him be 100 percent going forward. Harry has done a tremendous job in rehabilitation over the last year and I'm sure he'll continue to do the same after this procedure."

The 6-foot-11 Giles is part of Duke's heralded freshmen class that also includes fellow forwards Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden.

Giles is projected as the No 3 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by DraftExpress.com. He tore the ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee in 2013 and missed his sophomore season at Wesleyan (N.C.) Christian. He also tore his right ACL and was forced to miss his senior season at Oak Hill Academy (VA.).

The projected No. 1 team in the nation, Duke will open the season on Nov. 11 against Marist.

The Blue Devils are also slated to face Josh Jackson and Kansas in the Champions Classic On Nov. 15 at Madison Square garden.

Whoever drafts Giles #3 is brave!

Not too worried on Duke.

Just another annoyance of the NCAA. It is business as usual for them taking advantage of the many things that athletes have worked so hard for. I just hope they come to their senses and change their minds.

We are just getting started. 

 

"We" are Indiana Hoosiers and their fans on an Indiana basketball message board, and "we" are fans of a team that has a legitimate chance to win a national championship this year.

If by "we are just getting started" you mean "with Duke over-hype", then I agree. But, the solution to that is...don't participate in Duke over-hype on this board. They are merely one of many teams that can go far this year.

(PS: Duke's best player has repeatedly tried to trip opposing players, and that's kinda pathetic.)
