RALEIGH – Terry Henderson is expected to miss a minimum of 6-8 weeks after suffering torn ligaments in his right ankle during NC State's season opener on Friday night.Â
Henderson underwent x-rays and an MRI during the game, and his status will be continually evaluated and monitored by the NC State sports medicine staff and team physicians.
Henderson, a 6-5 redshirt junior from Raleigh, suffered the injury just seven minutes into Friday's game, which was his first in an NC State uniform. He sat out the 2014-15 season after transferring from West Virginia.
Henderson was projected to play a significant role for the Wolfpack this season. He averaged 11.7 points per game as a sophomore at WVU in 2013-14.
"Obviously, this is a big blow to Terry and to our team," head coach Mark Gottfried said. "I feel bad for Terry. He worked extremely hard to get ready for this year. Our team has to adjust, and we will need some young players to step up."
