ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia forward Yante Maten, the Southeastern Conference's third-leading scorer, suffered a sprained right knee during Saturday's 82-77 loss to No. 13 Kentucky and is out indefinitely, Bulldogs coach Mark Fox announced Sunday.
"I am very disappointed for Yante," Fox said. "He loves to play, and it's tough when that is taken away by injury. Fortunately, it appears that surgery is not needed, and he should make a full recovery in time."
Maten was hurt as he defended a layup by Kentucky's Isaiah Briscoe less than two minutes into the game.
