WASHINGTON (AFP) – Sudanese-born American Bol Bol, a top NBA prospect whose late father was the second-tallest player in league history, has undergone left foot surgery to end his US college season.
The 19-year-old eldest child of former NBA standout Manute Bol is expected to make a full recovery after having screws inserted in his left foot after suffering a broken navicular bone Thursday in New York.
The 7-foot-2 (2.18m) center averaged a team-high 21.0 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.7 blocked shots over nine games for the University of Oregon while shooting 56.1 percent from the floor, his 52 percent from 3-point-range showing exceptional outside shooting touch for a big man.
