Texas Tech star forward JT Toppin has a torn ACL in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season, the school said Wednesday.
Toppin, a junior, suffered the injury while driving to the basket with 6:03 remaining in Tuesday’s 72-67 loss to Arizona State. He went down in a heap, holding his right leg. An MRI confirmed the injury.
The preseason All-America selection — who came in averaging 21.9 points — needed assistance to limp off the court and didn’t return. He finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four blocks.
He leads the Red Raiders in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots.
