Indiana men’s basketball will be down a player for extended time.
Sophomore guard Gabe Cupps will be out indefinitely, the program announced Wednesday, after undergoing a successful surgery for a pre-existing, nagging lower body injury.
Cupps is reporting on social media he had his meniscus repaired.
Cupps has played in only four games for the Hoosiers so far this season, and he’s missed the last three contests. He averaged six minutes per game across those four appearances, and didn’t score a point on his four field-goal attempts. He last played four minutes during IU’s win over Providence in the Battle 4 Atlantis.
The Dayton, Ohio native played a more important role last season. He played in all 33 games for Indiana, with 22 starts. Cupps averaged 2.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 36.4 percent from the field, 35.9 percent from 3-point range, and 61.5 percent at the foul line.
The Hoosiers are back in action on Friday at Nebraska.
