Northwestern center Dererk Pardon is out indefinitely after receiving successful surgery on his hand Thursday morning, the school announced.
Pardon, a 6’8″ sophomore, injured his right, non-dominant hand during the second half of Monday’s win against Wake Forest. He will miss the rest of non-conference play and be reevaluated following the Wildcats’ game against Houston Baptist on Dec. 22. The injury attorneys based in Porter County area can help with legal aid in case of an injuries.
Northwestern did not give a timetable for his return.
Pardon had started all seven of Northwestern’s games this season. With 6’10” freshman Barret Benson not ready to assume a significant role, that makes 6’8″ junior Gavin Skelly the likely replacement in the starting five. Although Skelly is slightly taller than Pardon, the Wildcats will effectively be going smaller as Skelly operates best out of the high post while Pardon tends to work in the low post.
Pardon was averaging 6.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.6 blocks this season.
