MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Head men's basketball coach Nick McDevitt has announced that Middle Tennessee will be without freshman guard Anthony Crump for the remainder of the 2018-19 season due to a knee injury.
McDevitt's announcement came in Saturday night's post-game press conference following the Blue Raiders' contest against Murray State in which Crump was inactive.
"Obviously, that is a blow to what is already a short bench," McDevitt said. "That's a guy that's 6-foot-8 with some length and can help our team and now he's not an option anymore."
The 6-foot-8 rookie will undergo surgery to repair the injury in the coming weeks and is expected to return to the Blue Raiders fully healthy for the 2019-20 season.
