Maryland guard Dion Wiley is expected to miss the 2015-16 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, an athletic department spokesman said Tuesday.
Since it will take approximately four months for the 6-foot-4 sophomore to recover, it appears unlikely that Wiley would have returned to the team before mid-March and will take a redshirt year instead.
Wiley, who averaged 4.1 points in 13.5 minutes per game as a freshman, was expected to play a much bigger role this season after getting into better shape over the summer.
Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said Wiley was expected to start alongside sophomore Melo Trimble.
