Mike Woodson took questions after his team’s 77-71 win over Penn State on Sunday regarding the health of starting forward Malik Reneau.
Based on what Woodson has been told, Reneau has no structural damage to his right knee, but it isn’t clear when he will return to the floor.
“Don’t know when he’s gonna be back. It’s in medical’s hands,” Woodson said from the Palestra in Philadelphia. “He didn’t tear up anything, but don’t know when he’s gonna come back, I really don’t. I just gotta follow the doctors’ leads, and he’s gotta do what he needs to do get back when he can. But it won’t be anytime soon.”
Based on Woodson’s comments, Reneau sounds like a longshot to play on Wednesday when the Hoosiers host USC at 7 p.m. ET.
Reneau is averaging 14.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 60.3% from the field. He suffered an apparent right knee injury on the first defensive possession of IU’s 84-74 win over Rutgers Thursday evening. Reneau emerged from the halftime locker room with ice under his right knee.
Indiana has not disclosed the precise nature of his injury.
Indiana is effectively 2-0 since Reneau was injured.
