Maryland basketball freshman Chol Marial has suffered a stress fracture in both legs and will have surgery Sept. 4.
The 7’2 freshman will likely miss the next three to four months, but is expected to make a full recovery.
“Chol battled through injuries over the last few years in high school and we are glad to find a resolution that will provide him with the proper medical care he needs,” coach Mark Turgeon said in a press release. “Our top priority is ensuring Chol is able to not only return to the court, but lead a healthy life well beyond basketball.
