In very sad news for a great young man, the Marquette Golden Eagles basketball team, and the Marquette fan base, forward Ike Eke’s basketball career is over.
On Friday, August 2nd, the university released a statement saying that Ike has been medically incapacitated to participate in basketball at the collegiate level due to back injuries.
Eke has undergone two surgeries on his back, in January 2018 and January 2019, ruling him out of participation during his medical redshirt year and again this past season, where he used his traditional redshirt in order to maintain 4 years of eligibility.
