Northwestern sophomore forward Aaron Falzon underwent knee surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2016-2017 season, the program announced Sunday. He is eligible to seek a medical hardship waiver and redshirt this season.
The Newton, Massachusetts native played in all 32 games last season, including 29 starts, and averaged 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. He was limited to just three games this season and was severely hindered by the injury, only playing 20 total minutes.
The three-point marksman hit 63 three-pointers as a freshman, the second-most for a freshman in program history. In his absence, the Wildcats have used mainly Vic Law, Scottie Lindsey and Sanjay Lumpkin on the wing.
