Georgetown sophomore forward Greg Whittington has a torn ACL in his left knee, the school announced Tuesday.
“Greg will return when he is 100 percent healthy,” Georgetown coach John Thompson III said in a statement. “I feel for Greg because he’s worked extremely hard to prepare for the coming season, on and off the court. I’m confident this is just another setback that in the end will make him even stronger. At this point, there is no specific timetable for his return.”
The news was previously reported by CasualHoya.com and ESPN.com.
Whittington averaged 12.1 points and 7.0 rebounds last season, but was ruled academically ineligible Jan. 12. He was expected to return to the team this season and was a major reason why SNY ranked Georgetown No. 1 in our Preseason Big East rankings.
Without Whittington, Georgetown now falls to No. 3 behind No. 1 Marquette and No. 2 St. John’s.
