A day after Creighton's big win over Seton Hall at home, the team got some bad news on Thursday. Sophomore forward Martin Krampelj will miss the remainder of the 2017-18 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Krampelj suffered the injury in the 80-63 win over No. 19 Seton Hall. He is expected to have surgery in the coming weeks.
Krampelj averages 11.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game and has started all 19 games for the Bluejays, who improved to 15-4 and 5-2 in conference play.
"Martin has been an important part of our team and I'm proud of the progress he's made to become one of the most improved players in the BIG EAST," said head coach Greg McDermott. "I'm looking forward to his surgery so we get him healthy and back on the court for two great years."
Creighton returns to action on Saturday afternoon at Providence.
