Freshman center DaJuan Coleman [10] will miss four weeks following knee surgery on Tuesday, Jan. 29. Coleman needed the surgery after injuring his left knee before Saturday's loss [11] to Villanova.
Coleman started each of the Orange's 20 games, but played sparingly. A native of Jamesville, N.Y., Coleman averaged five points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
With Coleman out, expect to see a bit more of both junior Baye Moussa Kieta [12] and freshman Jerami Grant [13]. James Southerland [14], who regularly replaced Coleman in the lineup a few minutes into each game, is still ineligible [15] to play for the Orange.
It is unclear if coach Jim Boeheim will opt to move sophomore Rakeem Christmas [16] to center and start Grant, or start Kieta.
The No. 6 Orange take on Pittsburgh on the road on Saturday.
