You never like to see injury news in sports, even when it happens to one of your key rivals. On Tuesday, the Big Ten basketball landscape received some huge, awful news as Illinois revealed that star player David Mirkovic underwent foot surgery on July 31.
This is some seismic news that will almost certainly reshape the Big Ten basketball landscape and Michigan State's schedule, as Mirkovic was poised to be one of the star players out of the Big Ten this year for Illinois and a projected NBA Draft lottery pick in 2027, if he decided to leave school. Mirkovic averaged 13.3 points per game as a freshman and even had a 27-point, 21-rebound game early in the season against Colgate, adding to his hype.
We still don't know the extent of what his recovery will entail, so it's hard to speculate. The team did say the surgery was successful and he is expected to make a full recovery, but we don't know he will return to college this year, or ever, at this point.
