CINCINNATI — Xavier University team doctor Dr. Robert Burger confirmed today that sophomore guard Edmond Sumner suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury in his left knee in Xavier’s game vs. St. John’s at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. An MRI confirmed the result today.
Dr. Burger said Sumner will be scheduled for surgery in the near future on a date to be determined.
“I am devastated for Edmond,” said Xavier head coach Chris Mack. “Unfortunately, sometimes bad things happen to great people. Through diligent rehab, hard work and prayer I know Ed will return to the court better than ever. He’s an awesome kid, a fearless competitor and a terrific teammate. I’m going to miss coaching him the rest of the year. As far as our current team is concerned, our goals have not changed. Next man up.”
