Muojeke done for the year

Wyoming will be without their leading scorer sophomore Afam Muojeke for the remainder of this season the University of Wyoming announced this morning. Muojeke injured his left knee on Wednesday nights game against the BYU Cougars. This is the same knee he injured earlier this year that caused him to miss three games, he also redshirted his freshman year after dislocating the knee cap in his left knee.

So with three injuries in three years has the left knee become a chronic injury for Muojeke? A weakened joint that will give out more and more often? Let's hope not for his and the team's sake.

Muojeke, a native of Jamaica, Queens, N.Y., was averaging 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.7 steals a game entering the BYU game. He ranked second in the Mountain West Conference in scoring and fourth in steals. He had scored 15 or more points in 13 of 15 games prior to the injury.

Obviously this is a huge blow for the team. But could be a blessing in disguise as this is a very young Cowboys team and a lot of players weren't seeing muching playing time recently. Desmar Jackson, A.J. Davis and Daylen Harrison should all see some more court time.

Hopefully Muojeke will heal quickly and be able to practice next Fall when the season starts.

Afam Muojeke out. But for how long?

Afam Muojeke only played eight minutes last night before running into BYU's Taylor Haws and injuring his knee. This is the same knee Muojeke injured earlier in the season that caused to miss several games with a bruised patellar tendon.

After the injury Muojeke was able to limp off the floor under his own power but when he returned in the second half it was with crutches.

An MRI will be done today to determine the extent of the damage and how long Muojeke could be out.

Losing their leading scorer will be quite a loss for the Pokes. The good news is that Wyoming is off until the 27th when they host Utah. If Muojeke is out for a longer period of time Ryan Dermody and A.J. Davis stand to see much more playing time.
