CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami freshman forward Deng Gak will miss the rest of the season with a left knee injury, the latest blow to the Hurricanes' depth up front.
Gak was hurt during a loss to Yale on Dec. 1 and is expected to be sidelined for six months. He averaged 2.5 points and 4.1 rebounds in eight games.
The Hurricanes are also without forward Dewan Hernandez, who has been sidelined since the start of the season as the school and NCAA review his eligibility.
Miami (5-4) has lost four consecutive games and next plays Houston Baptist on Dec. 19.
