Editor: The following is a press release from godrakebulldogs.com.
(Des Moines, IA) – Drake University senior Nick Norton’s knee injury suffered in Wednesday night’s game at Evansville will force the guard to miss the remainder of the 2018-19 season, head men’s basketball coach Darian DeVries announced Friday.
Norton suffered an injury to his left knee late in the first half of the Drake men’s basketball team’s double-overtime loss at Evansville while driving to the basket.
Norton’s injury was evaluated Thursday and following an MRI, team physicians determined Norton tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Surgery to repair the ligament will be performed at a date to be determined.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
