Maryland guard Dion Wiley will miss Thursday night’s game at Ohio State after suffering a concussion in last Sunday’s 91-73 win over Iowa, Terrapins Coach Mark Turgeon said.
Wiley was injured early in the second half after taking a blow to the head in a collision with a Hawkeyes player. He immediately left the game and went back to the locker room, spoiling what was arguably his most promising performance of the season. Wiley had hit four of his first five shots and finished with 10 points, giving Maryland the kind of lift off the bench that it has desperately needed since its rotation was thinned by season-ending injuries to forwards Justin Jackson and Ivan Bender.
