INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Purdue forward Robbie Hummel had reconstructive surgery on the ACL in his right knee on Monday.
Purdue coach Matt Painter said Monday morning that the surgery would take place in Indianapolis and that the standard recovery time is four to six months. A school spokesman confirmed that the surgery was completed.
Hummel was injured while driving to the basket on Feb. 24 against Minnesota. He ranks second on the team with 15.7 points and 6.9 rebounds a game.
Painter doesn’t expect Hummel to accompany the sixth-ranked Boilermakers when they play in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals on Friday against Northwestern or Indiana.
