Auburn star Chuma Okeke appeared to suffer a serious knee injury during tonight’s game against North Carolina.
Okeke left the court and never returned:
Hate to see Okeke go down. They’ve played so well, but that knee didn’t look good #SweetSixteen pic.twitter.com/NIuGF3nb5k
After the game, Bruce Pearl couldn’t hold back his emotions when asked about the injury:
“He’s hurt. We’re gonna rally. I’ll go hug on him.”
