UConn coach Dan Hurley said Thursday that starting forward Nik Khamenia will have surgery on his left foot and will be reevaluated in six-to-eight weeks.
Khamenia, a Duke transfer, was injured in the No. 4 Huskies' 83-41 win over Wagner on Monday.
While playing defense, he fell to the floor after UConn and Wagner players battled for a rebound with 10:04 remaining in the first half. It took him a little while to get back on his feet. When an athletic trainer came onto the court to check on him, Khamenia pointed to one of his feet.
He initially stayed in the game before leaving for good.
Khamenia led UConn with 11 points in the first half against Wagner. He also had 14 points and six rebounds in a season-opening win over Gardner-Webb.
