Iowa State star point guard Tamin Lipsey will be sidelined four to six weeks with a knee injury, the school announced.
The two-time All-Big 12 selection sprained his right MCL in practice Tuesday but could return in time for the Cyclones’ Nov. 3 opener against Fairleigh Dickinson.
Lipsey averaged 10.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 34 starts last season as head coach T.J. Otzelberger’s squad finished 25-10 and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Already the school’s all-time leader in steals (237), the Ames, Iowa, native boasts career averages of 10.2 points, 4.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 thefts in 103 games (all starts) with his hometown program.
