EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern sophomore forward Aaron Falzon has undergone knee surgery and will miss the remainder of the Wildcats' 2016-17 season. Falzon is eligible to seek a medical hardship waiver.
"We all feel badly for Aaron," said Northwestern head men's basketball coach Chris Collins. "We were looking forward to him being a big part of our team this season. He already is on the road to recovery and we look forward to getting him back on the court and being a central piece of our program for the next three years."
Falzon was limited to three appearances and 20 minutes of action this season. A year ago, the Newton, Massachusetts, native saw action in all 32 games with 29 starts while averaging 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. His 63 three-pointers during the 2015-16 season were the second most by a Northwestern freshman in program history.
