Iowa Star Owen Freeman Out for Season Following Finger Surgery

The sophomore forward, Iowa's leading scorer and rebounder, will miss the rest of the season after sustaining a finger injury requiring surgery.

Owen Freeman, a 6-foot-10 sophomore forward for Iowa, will undergo surgery for a finger injury on his right hand, ending his season.
Freeman leads the Hawkeyes in scoring (16.7 points per game), rebounds (6.7 per game), and blocks (35) while shooting an impressive 63.8% from the field.
He was the only Iowa player to score in double figures in every game this season, showcasing his consistent offensive impact.
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery stated that surgery was the best option to ensure proper healing and prevent the risk of permanent injury.
The Hawkeyes, currently 13-8 overall and 4-6 in Big Ten play, face No. 10 Purdue on Tuesday without their top performer.
