Nebraska’s basketball suffered another season-ending loss this week when 6-foot-5 freshman small forward B.J. Day suffered a torn ACL in his left knee.

The Cornhuskers already have senior Leslee Smith for the entire season after he suffered a knee injury during the summer.

“It is difficult because B.J. has worked hard in the offseason to get ready for the start of practice,” Nebraska head coach Tim Miles said in a statement. “We look forward to him beginning his rehab, and our goal is to have him ready for the start of next season.”

Day, who is from Lincoln, will apply for a medical redshirt.
