STORRS, Conn. — No 5. UConn will be without star center Donovan Clingan for about a month because of a right foot injury, the school said Saturday.
The 7-foot-2 sophomore was hurt coming down under the basket during the second half of the Huskies' 15-point loss at Seton Hall on Wednesday.
Tests showed Clingan hurt a tendon in the foot, the school said in a statement that did not elaborate on the extent of the injury.
Clingan missed a month of the preseason with an injury to the same foot, but UConn coach Dan Hurley said Friday that the two injuries are not related.
Clingan is averaging just under 14 points and a little more than six rebounds a game.
The announcement came just before the Huskies (10-2, 0-1 Big East) hosted St. John's (8-3, 1-0) on Saturday night in Hartford. UConn won't play again until it returns to campus on Jan. 2 for a game against DePaul.
