Xavier University forward Jerome Hunter will be sidelined indefinitely with an undisclosed medical issue, the school announced Tuesday.
"Jerome Hunter is dealing with a medical issue that has sidelined him from all on-court basketball activities. Our medical team is working with Jerome to navigate a path for his return to full health. His timeline for a return to basketball will be established at a later time," the school said in a statement.
Hunter, a Columbus, Ohio, native, is expected to be one of the key returners for Sean Miller's Musketeers on a roster with plenty of turnover from last year's Sweet 16 squad.
