Senior big man Johnny Hamilton will have season-ending surgery next week to repair a flexor tendon in his left thumb according to a release from Virginia Tech.
Hamilton averaged 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in limited action this season. He transferred to Blacksburg prior to last season from Jacksonville College in Jacksonville, Texas where he averaged 9.0 points and 8.9 rebounds per game and shot 61.7 percent from the field as a sophomore.
“Johnny has worked hard in his time at Virginia Tech and will continue to be a valuable member of this team, though, unfortunately, he will not be able to play,” head coach Buzz Williams said in the release.
