Missouri State will be without the services of guard Kenzie
Williams for the remainder of the season after the freshman tore the ACL
in her right knee during the first half of Sunday’s game against
Louisville at JQH Arena.
Williams, who played 27 minutes in MSU’s first two games and averaged 7.7 points on 64 percent shooting in three the exhibition contests, will undergo surgery to repair the tear in the coming weeks. The average recovery time following ACL reconstruction surgery is 6-12 months.
Other recent Lady Bears who have gone through ACL reconstruction include Melissa Busby and Kendra Roberts. The injury leaves the Lady Bears with 13 players on the active roster, one of whom, Jasmine Malone, started the season suspended indefinitely for possible violations of team rules.
Missouri State will apply for a medical hardship waiver from the NCAA in hopes of regaining this year of eligibility for Williams.
