Chones, James to Miss 2000-01 Season
1/4/2001 12:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
Chones suffered a partially torn quadricep tendon in her left knee in mid-November and has decided to redshirt this season. The 6-3 center started all 29 games a year ago and averaged 11.4 points and 7.9 rebounds for the Wolfpack. She posted seven double-doubles during the 1999-2000 season and was selected to the ACC All-Freshman team. Chones was selected to the preseason honorable mention All-America team by Street & Smith this fall.
James had reconstructive knee surgery on her right knee last spring to repair a torn ACL. She missed the preseason workouts and did not return to practice until mid-December. After playing briefly against East Carolina on Dec. 21, James decided she was not fully recovered enough to compete. NC State will apply for a medical hardship for James. The 5-7 point guard started all 29 games a year ago for the Wolfpack and averaged 7.9 points, 3.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds per outing.
Both players have three years of eligibility remaining and are expected to make full recoveries prior to next season.
