Pitt basketball forward Jorge Diaz Graham will miss eight weeks of action after successfully undergoing surgery to repair a core muscle injury Friday.
Diaz Graham played in just 16 games last season as he dealt with a preseason foot injury and underwent season-ending ankle surgery Feb. 8.
"The injury is a small setback for Jorge, but we are confident that he will make a full recovery," head coach Jeff Capel said in a release. "Jorge will work hard with our training staff during the recovery process and we expect him to be ready to continue his on-court development later this summer. It is an unfortunate injury, but Jorge has been through this before and will attack the recovery process with a great attitude."
Diaz Graham averages 3.1 points and 2.3 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game over 47 career games. He is going into his junior season.
