Knee injury ends season for Nebraska’s Emmanuel Bandoumel

Published January 23, 2023 3:23 PM

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska basketball coach Fred Hoiberg says Emmanuel Bandoumel will require surgery and miss the rest of the season after injuring his knee over the weekend. Bandoumel’s knee buckled as he drove to the basket in the first half of the Cornhuskers’ 76-65 loss Saturday to Penn State. He’s the second Nebraska starter in two weeks to sustain a season-ending injury. Juwan Gary is out with a shoulder injury. Bandoumel is a fifth-year guard who transferred from SMU. He started all 20 games for the Huskers and was averaging better than eight points and four rebounds per game.
