NC State Wolfpack basketball fifth-year senior guard Devon Daniels was confirmed to have suffered an ACL tear in the Wake Forest win Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season.
Daniels, who is in his fourth season as a member of the program, has been the Pack's leading scorer through 12 contests.
In 12 games and 11 starts this season, Daniels averaged 16.5 points per game and tied for a team-high 3.1 assists per contest. He also averaged 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.
“I’m gutted and heartbroken for Devon,” NC State head coach Kevin Keatts said in a release. “Devon joined our program shortly after I was named head coach and I quickly appreciated the tenacity and relentlessness he brought into the gym every day. Devon built himself into one of the premier players in the ACC and with that tireless work ethic, I have no doubt that he will attack his rehab and come back even stronger. I hope all NC State fans will join me in praying for Devon and a swift recovery.”
NC State is currently 7-5 overall and 3-4 in ACC play. The Wolfpack is next scheduled to face Syracuse on the road on Sunday, Jan. 31 at 6 p.m. on ACC Network.
