DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke says point guard Kyra Lambert will miss a second straight season with a knee injury.
Lambert announced the injury Monday, saying she reinjured her left knee and will have surgery next month to repair a meniscal tear and to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament.
Lambert missed last season after initially injuring the knee in a win over Hampton during the first round of the 2017 NCAA Tournament. She was hurt again during practice last season, leading to a second surgery in February.
Team spokesman Lindy Brown says Lambert was still rehabbing that injury and had not been cleared for contact when she hurt the knee for a third time.
