Indiana sophomore OG Anunoby is out indefinitely in the wake of suffering a knee injury in Wednesday night's win over Penn State.

"OG sustained a knee injury in this past Wednesday night's game against Penn State and is in the midst of ongoing medical evaluations," IU coach Tom Crean said in a statement. "He will be out indefinitely. On behalf of OG and our entire program, we thank you for all of the support and well wishes that have been sent this way."

Anunoby's right knee buckled as he battled for rebounding position on the last play of the first half. He had to be helped to the locker room.

Anunoby started 10 of the 16 games he appeared in this season, averaging 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds. He missed three games earlier this season after suffering an ankle injury against North Carolina.
