KU forward David McCormack has surgery on foot, will be out 12 weeks, Bill Self says
Kansas junior forward David McCormack had surgery on Wednesday to repair a broken bone in his right foot, KU men’s basketball coach Bill Self told The Star.
“Surgery went well. He’s resting now. He’ll be fine. It will be 12 weeks before he can return to basketball-related activities,” Self said Wednesday afternoon.
Self said McCormack hurt his right foot with a couple weeks left in the regular season. He averaged 13.4 points and 6.1 boards for 21-9 KU.
“In the Eastern Washington game (March 20), it became evident he was playing through pain,” Self noted to The Star. “He tried to play against USC (March 22) but was not himself. He showed a lot of toughness trying to fight through it but wasn’t himself.”
McCormack had five points and four rebounds while playing 22 minutes in KU’s second-round NCAA Tournament loss to USC. He had 22 points and nine boards in the first-round win over Eastern Washington.
