UNI MBB: Green out for Friday, Kimmons on leave

As you heard on News/Talk 1540 KXEL last night, UNI men’s basketball coach Ben Jacobson said junior guard AJ Green will miss tonight’s game against St. Ambrose due to a hip injury. Multiple doctors are being consulted, but at this point the options are to rest and then play through the injury, or have season-ending surgery. The Panthers take on St. Ambrose in the home opener in Cedar Falls tonight, with pregame at 5:30 and tipoff at 6 on KXEL. In addition, sophomore guard Antwan Kimmons is taking a leave of absence from the team to to return home to Minnesota; that’s because of family issues due to COVID-19.
