ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - The future of the nation's tallest college basketball player is uncertain.
A UNC Asheville spokesman said Monday that 7-foot-7 center Kenny George has undergone two surgical procedures for an infected right foot and remains in a Chicago hospital. George is not expected to return to school this semester, and it's possible the senior will not play this season.
Coach Eddie Biedenbach says George first felt discomfort last month during a camp in Las Vegas. When he returned to his native Chicago, a doctor recommended immediate surgery.
George was the Big South's defensive player of the year after helping the Bulldogs win a school-record 23 games and reach the NIT last season. George averaged 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.
