Maryland men’s basketball sophomore guard Hakim Hart will start in place of injured senior guard Darryl Morsell for Monday night’s road game against Indiana, coach Mark Turgeon said Sunday.
Morsell, a former Mount Saint Joseph star, fractured a bone in his face during Thursday night’s 84-73 loss to No. 16 Michigan and is expected to miss one to two weeks after undergoing surgery. He took an inadvertent elbow from Wolverines guard Franz Wagner in the paint, and the ESPN broadcast showed a visible dent on the left side of his face.
After leaving the game near the end of the first half, Morsell went to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore for further evaluation.
