Just got word Maryland forward Jerome Burney is done for the year with a broken sesamoid bone in his right foot.
So ends the season for the affable big man who just can’t catch some good fortune.
SEE RELATED:
Burney, who redshirted because of injuries two years ago, averaged 0.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in nine games. He sat out 16 straight games because of a stress fracture in his right foot.
Losing the 6-foot-9 big man certainly doesn’t help in terms of depth, but he’s played only twice (for 20 minutes) since Dec. 7, anyway. Look for a few more Braxton Dupree cameos in the coming weeks now that Burney is shelved.
