Flint native and Northeastern point guard Jon Lee to miss time with injury
November 5, 2012 in Division I
After having a great junior season for Division I Northeastern, Carman-Ainsworth graduate Jon Lee was primed to lead an improving team this season. Unfortunately, his season will get started a little later than expected, via NBC Sports:
The school announced on Friday that Lee, a preseason All-CAA selection, would be out up to six weeks with a foot injury while a torn ACL will sideline (Kwesi) Abakah for the entire 2012-13 season.
“I am extremely disappointed for Jon and Kwesi. They both have worked hard and were very focused on the upcoming season,” said Coen in the statement. “With the help of our talented medical staff, we anticipate that Kwesi will recover fully for next season.
“For Jon, as a senior co-captain, this is a setback, but his perseverance and work ethic are unparalleled. He will continue to provide us with valuable leadership during his rehabilitation and we look forward to his return to the court.”
Lee averaged 14.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game last season. He finished in the top 15 in his conference in nine different statistical categories. Hopefully, he makes a quick recovery and can still help Northeastern pursue a NCAA Tournament appearance.
