Syracuse Orange men’s basketball guard Jalen Carey will have surgery on an injured right thumb on Friday. The sophomore guard will miss significant time as a result.
The news first came from play-by-play announcer Matt Park prior to Wednesday night’s win against Cornell.
Orange SO PG Jalen Carey has a right thumb injury and is set to have surgery Friday. He won’t dress tonight and will miss a significant amount of time. I’m told the injury originated in the summer. #OrangeNation
