Nik Khamenia suffered a lower leg injury during the first half of No. 4 UConn’s home game against Wagner on Monday and will not return.
Reports said Khamenia appeared to land awkwardly on his foot and he came up limping. Khamenia subbed out at the 10-minute mark of the half and went to the locker room before the team quickly ruled him out for the night.
Khamenia was having a hot start to the game, scoring 11 points in just seven minutes by making all three of his 3-point attempts and shooting 4 for 5 overall.
The wing transferred to UConn after playing in 38 games for Duke as a freshman, mostly coming off the bench. He averaged 5.7 points per game last year, scored 14 points in UConn’s season opener against Gardner-Webb and had seven on Friday in the Huskies’ win over then-No. 16 Michigan.
