TCU starting center Malick Diallo tears ACL, out for the season

TCU starting center Malick Diallo (6'9''-C-2005) will miss the rest of the season after tearing the ACL in his left knee early in the Horned Frogs' opener. The school announced Tuesday that Diallo will need season-ending surgery. Diallo, a 6-foot-9 sophomore from Mali in West Africa, got hurt going for an offensive rebound midway through the first half in the 78-74 home loss to New Orleans on Monday night. He played 6½ minutes in the game, finishing with one rebound, one blocked shot and two turnovers. He didn't attempt a shot. As a freshman last season, Diallo averaged 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 29 games. Before TCU, he played for Wasatch Academy in Mount Pleasant, Utah, where a knee injury forced him to miss his senior season.
