Here's the release from the school:
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon announced sophomore guard Dion Wiley had successful surgery to repair a torn right meniscus. Wiley is expected to miss four months.
“I am really disappointed for Dion because he worked so hard in the offseason and was playing at a very high level,” Turgeon said. “This is a big loss for our team as Dion was expected to be our starting shooting guard. Our doctors were encouraged about the surgery and we know that Dion will work tirelessly to return to the court.”
A native of Oxon Hill, Md., Wiley appeared in all 35 games as a freshman last season, averaging 4.1 points and 1.5 rebounds per game for the Terps. He scored a career-high 19 points and six rebounds against VMI. The 6-foot-4 guard helped guide Maryland to a school-record 26 wins during the regular season in 2014-15 and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
