The 6-10 forward has played sparingly for the Tigers so far this year, totaling only 15 minutes in his last four games. He scored just two points during that span.
This injury is just the latest blow to a program that has endured five consecutive losses, after its 88-77 SEC opening loss to LSU on Wednesday night.
