Knee troubles for Monckton

 

Bad news for the Quakers on a day when they are celebrating an 8-man incoming freshman class. Dan Monckton had a microfracture surgery on his knee, according to a post on his facebook, which says that instead of sitting out a few weeks as he had planned, the recovery time will be a matter of months.

This is a considerable hit for Penn as the senior had a breakout season last year, and was looking primed to shine in his fourth year on the team.

Monckton started five games last season, racking up the third most total minutes, averaging 23.2 per game. He shot an impressive .467 from the floor and racked up 3.9 rebounds per game. He was fourth on the roster with 7.9 points per game, and frequently got the crowd riled up with his dunking abilities last season.  His numbers for the Ivy season are higher across the board as his playing time was about 6 minutes more during that latter part of the season.
