Indiana guard James Blackmon Jr.'s left knee surgery cost him summer workouts, but the sophomore guard recovered to become his team's second leading scorer this season (15.8 points per game).
Blackmon, however, suffered a setback last week during practice when he suffered an injury to his right knee. On Tuesday, Indiana announced the sharp-shooting guard will undergo the surgery that is best for his "immediate and long-term health."
Indiana is 21-0 in Blackmon's two seasons anytime he shoots 47% or higher from the field.
A current timetable for his recovery is unknown.
Indiana is set to host Wisconsin on Tuesday night and Ohio State on Sunday.
