“Reggie Johnson did not travel to the Sweet 16 in Washington, D.C., with the men’s basketball team after sustaining a lower extremity injury against Illinois,” Miami spokeswoman Amy Woodruff said. “His timetable for returning to the court is uncertain.”

The 6-foot-10, 300 pound Johnson, has played in 26 games for Miami this season averaging 6.7 points and seven rebounds a game.

Johnson suffered a thumb injury earlier this season resulting in him missing eight games.

Miami takes on Marquette Thursday night, with the winner advancing to the Elite 8.
