From Staff Reports
University of Georgia men’s basketball player Rayshaun Hammonds, a Norcross grad, underwent successful surgery Thursday to address a fracture in his right foot, according to a school release.
The procedure took place at Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center.
Hammonds, Georgia’s second-leading scorer and rebounder, injured his foot during the Ole Miss game on Saturday, Feb. 23 but didn’t experience any significant discomfort until two days later. He missed the Bulldogs’ game against Auburn on Feb. 27 but returned to play five minutes at Florida last Saturday night.
Hammonds’ DNP against Auburn snapped a streak of 31 straight starts dating back to last season’s regular-season finale at Tennessee. Hammonds, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward, was averaging 12.6 points and 6.3 rebounds, with a team-high, 20 double-digit scoring performances, following the Ole Miss game.
