EAST LANSING -- Michigan State basketball recruit Delvon Roe, a senior in high school, is expected to undergo surgery on his right knee within a week, MSU coach Tom Izzo said Wednesday.
Roe will miss at least five weeks and possibly as much as five or six months depending on the amount of damage. A MRI revealed a torn meniscus, but there is also concern that there could be a chipped bone, Izzo said.
"It's nothing career-threatening," said Izzo.
Roe, a 6-foot-8 forward from Lakewood, Ohio, is ranked as a consensus top-10 player nationally. He turned down an offer from North Carolina and signed with Michigan State last month.
