The 19-year-old Anunoby was averaging 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game for the 13-6 Hoosiers this season. He was injured while jostling for rebounding position in Indiana’s 78-75 victory over Purdue on Wednesday.

A dynamic athlete and a versatile defender, Anunoby was projected to be a fringe lottery pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. But now in the wake of his injury, it seems like a very real possibility that Anunoby could opt to return to the Hoosiers for his junior year.
