Indiana sophomore forward OG Anunoby will miss the rest of the season after injuring his right knee during Wednesday's victory over Penn State.
Anunoby, considered a potential NBA draft lottery selection, was averaging 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds.
"It has been determined that OG Anunoby will undergo surgery on his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season," Hoosiers coach Tom Crean said in a statement Friday. "He is expected to make a complete recovery.
"For a young man, OG has a very strong faith and a courageous spirit. We are going to do everything as a basketball family to help him recover and rehabilitate from this unfortunate situation."
Anunoby was injured while battling for a rebound late in the first half.
A recovery timetable will be determined after the surgery. A lengthy rehab period would likely influence Anunoby's decision per entering the draft or returning for his junior season.
