Minnesota Basketball: Gopher’s Isaiah Ihnen to miss the 2022-23 season

Just over 1 year from announcing that he was going to miss the 2021-22 season due to a knee injury, Isaiah Ihnen will miss this next season after reinjuring his surgically repaired knee.

Thanks for everyone reaching out, I’m fine, it happened, I’ll be back, story’s not over!

Ihnen, a 6’9” forward, played his first two seasons under Richard Pitino. He was recruited out of Germany and despite being raw, he showed some incredible athleticism and promise. He averaged 10-15 minutes and around 3 points per game in those first two seasons.
