Virginia Loses Star Guard Justin Anderson for 4-6 Weeks
Published at
G Fiume/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Third-ranked Virginia is having a great season, but a major injury could make it difficult to keep it up.
Cavaliers’ second leading scorer Justin Anderson will miss four to six weeks after fracturing a finger on his shooting hand.
The junior guard was injured in the first half of the team’s win over No. 9 Louisville Saturday.
Virginia (21-1, 9-1 ACC) currently leads the ACC by one game over Notre Dame. Anderson is a big reason for that, averaging 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and two assists per game while shooting 48% from 3-point land this season.
Anderson is likely out for the rest of the regular season, but could be back for the NCAA tournament in the middle of March.
