BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU men's basketball forward Jalen Reed has been diagnosed with a torn right knee ligament that will sideline him the remainder of this season, coach Matt McMahon said Wednesday night.
The team captain tore his anterior cruciate ligament during LSU's 85-75 victory over Florida State on Tuesday night.
"We are devastated for Jalen as he has worked extremely hard in preparation for his junior year," McMahon said in a statement released by LSU's athletic department. "He is an absolute joy to coach and earned the role of captain from his teammates.
