Kyle Anderson got his MRI results back Wednesday afternoon and they weren’t good.
The 6-foot-9 UCLA-bound point guard has torn ligaments in his thumb and Dr. Marc W. Urquhart of Bayonne, N.J., suggested surgery, which could keep Anderson out of action for three months.
“Dr. Urquhart says he has torn ligaments in his thumb and after reading the MRI and seeing the MRI he believes he needs surgery,” Kyle Anderson Sr. told SNY.tv Wednesday. “We respect his opinion and judgment but are still going to have a second opinion.”
Anderson, a McDonald’s All-American who led St. Anthony to back-to-back New Jersey Tournament of Champions titles, injured the thumb during the last practice before the New Jersey North Non-Public B state final in March.
He then reinjured it during practice for the McDonald’s Game.
He is part of UCLA’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class that now includes Tony Parker, Shabazz Muhammad and Jordan Adams.
Both Anderson and Muhammad are considered probable one-and-done players.
