Champaign, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Illinois senior guard Tracy Abrams will miss the 2014-15 season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, the school announced on Thursday.
Abrams suffered the injury during preseason skill workouts, and surgery date has been set. He will redshirt this season and will return to play in his final year of eligibility in 2015-16.
"Tracy worked hard in the offseason to put himself in great position heading into his senior year, so he's obviously disappointed and we are for him as well," said Illinois head coach John Groce.
Abrams started all 35 games for the Fighting Illini last season, averaging 10.7 points and 3.5 rebounds.
