Sep. 7, 2018 4:05 pm
Iowa sophomore men's basketball player Luka Garza had surgery Friday to remove a benign cyst in his abdomen.
'We are happy to hear that Luka's procedure went well,' Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said Friday in a news release. 'Luka has had a phenomenal summer preparing for his sophomore season and we look forward to him rejoining his teammates on the court later this fall.'
The 6-foot-11, 245-pound Garza started 26 games and played in 33 as a freshman. He led the team in blocked shots, was second in rebounding (6.4 per game), and third in scoring (12.1 points per game).
Iowa's first regular-season 2018-19 game is Nov. 8, at home against Missouri-Kansas City.
