Caracter injured, will have surgery

Just a few days after learning of a minor injury to guard Edgar Sosa, UofL confirmed another summer injury Thursday afternoon. CardinalSports.com's Howie Lindsey spoke with UofL Sports Information Director Kenny Klein in Omaha for more on Caracter's condition.

Klein confirmed power forward Derrick Caracter will be sidelined for four to six weeks this summer with an injury to his left knee. Caracter apparently has a torn ligament in his left knee, and will undergo surgery Monday to have it repaired.

The 6-foot-8, 275-pound power forward is not expected to miss any of the season, and will likely be sidelined four to six weeks while recovering.
