Seton Hall will be without star guard Myles Powell indefinitely after he suffered a concussion during Saturday’s game against in-state rival Rutgers, coach Kevin Willard announced.

“Myles’ health and well-being is of the utmost importance as he goes through concussion protocol,” Willard said in a statement Tuesday, as the Asbury Park Press reported. “This is an unfortunate injury for Myles, who was in the middle of a special season.”
Powell was expected to be a key part of the Pirates’ 2019-20 season. Seton Hall started off the year ranked No. 12 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll.

Powell was averaging 25.8 points per game before his concussion.
He cannot return to the court until he meets a few benchmarks, the Press reported. Once Powell shows signs he is not feeling concussion symptoms, he is expected to undergo a cognitive test before starting light activities. Then, if he were to remain symptom-free, he reportedly could return to game action.
