From the Louisville Courier-Journal:
University of Louisville starting center David Padgett will miss the rest of the 2005-2006 season to have surgery on his left knee.
After attempting to practice for about five minutes yesterday, coaches and team trainers decided to re-evaluate Padgett's knee. He underwent a magnetic resonance imaging test this morning after which team doctors told U of L coach Rick Pitino that continuing to play would risk further injury to the knee.
Surgery has not yet been scheduled.
Padgett, the team's co-captain is averaging 11.9 points and 6.1 rebounds. He leads U of L (16-9) in rebounding, blocked shots (34), field-goal percentage (.582) and free throws made (66 of 81).
