Northwestern leading scorer Scottie Lindsey will not be available for Northwestern’s game against No. 23 Maryland on Wednesday, according to Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune.
Lindsey has missed the last three games because of mono, and a team source said NU's leading scorer will not return to action Wednesday against Maryland, as hoped.
NU officials would not comment, but those affected by mono often get an enlarged spleen. When that occurs, doctors recommend avoiding contact sports for fear that it will rupture.
Greenstein’s story adds that Lindsey could possibly be cleared to return to practice later this week, but that he will be limited once he does so.
