BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana guard Maurice Creek will be out indefinitely because of a knee injury.
Coach Tom Crean told radio listeners Monday night Creek has a stress fracture in his right kneecap. He missed the second half of last season with a fractured left kneecap, and still had not been playing with the same explosiveness he had before the injury.
The sophomore made 13 starts and was averaging 8.3 points after scoring 16.4 points per game last season.
Creek was injured Saturday night with just under 2 minutes to go against Michigan, a game the Hoosiers won 80-61. He caught a long inbound pass, put in a layup and then crashed to the floor. A few minutes later, he limped to the bench and then re-entered the game.
