Texas Tech star forward JT Toppin has a torn ACL in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season, the school said Wednesday.
Toppin, a 6-foot-9 junior, suffered the injury while driving to the basket with 6:03 remaining in Tuesday's 72-67 loss to Arizona State. He went down in a heap, holding his right leg. An MRI confirmed the injury.
The preseason All-America selection, who is averaging 21.8 points, needed assistance to limp off the court and didn't return. He finished with 20 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks.
