BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo men's basketball senior Raheem Johnson has been approved for a medical hardship waiver by the Mid-American Conference office and has been granted an extra year of eligibility for 2016-17.
The Detroit, MI native played in just one game in 2015-16 before suffering a season-ending foot injury. He saw 16 minutes of action and had four points and seven rebounds at Iowa State.
In Johnson's first year at UB, he was an important bench piece on Buffalo's first MAC Championship squad as he played in all 33 games, leading the team in blocked shots.
