BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Sophomore guard James Blackmon, Jr., (15.8 ppg) will not play today against Rutgers.

He suffered a knee injury in practice and further evaluation is underway to determine the extent of the injury.

It'll be a lucky knee injury for the kid if he only misses one game. I hope so. Don't want to see anyone hurt.

Hopefully just a contusion or hyper-extension and no structural damage. That's a pretty vague report.

Here's hoping it's nothing serious.

That kid's had recurring knee problems for a long time, ever since he blew out his ACL in high school.

Still can't believe his dad allowed him to go to Bloomington. Just a terrible decision. Totally scared of the competition and they know it.

His knees are like old chicken bones. Better get that managed if he wants to be a pro

Completely forgot Indiana is playing this year.

His brother Vijay Blackmon tore his ACL un high school too. That family has had some bad luck with knee injuries.

Hate IU but I like Blackmon, hope it's nothing too serious.

Hope he gets back soon!

Hate to see anyone injured.

Get well soon.

How would blackmon being on the team last year had changed things? Not as good from Booker I bet.

Hope James is okay and comes back quickly. In addition, I hope IU loses every game they play from now to the year 2,158,974,322.
