UNM junior Emmanuel Kuac is out for the remainder of the season after breaking his left leg late in Saturday’s overtime loss to Utah State.
The 6-foot-7 forward from Canada, who got his first start of the season on Saturday, stepped awkwardly while trying to get around a defender with 3:14 remaining in Saturday’s game, snapping a bone in his leg and immediately hopping to the sideline. He was eventually taken up the Pit ramp from the bench area on a stretcher, taken to a hospital after the game and had successful surgery on Sunday morning.
