Cincinnati Bearcats Wing Dan Skillings will miss time due to a knee injury

CINCINNATI— UC basketball is reportedly without Dan Skillings Jr. for a stretch of non-conference play. Chad Brendel of Bearcat Journal dropped the news that Skillings had a “successful procedure” on the knee he injured last week against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and will be out “several” weeks.

Skillings is arguably Cincinnati’s best player on the deepest roster Wes Miller has put together during his tenure. He scored 17 points and 11 rebounds in the opener after averaging 12.9 points and 6.4 rebounds last season. Now it appears the rarely injured Skillings will miss the trip to Northern Kentucky and possibly Villanova.

Wes Miller should have more information later this week, but that depth should continue to shine once the competition heats up in Cincinnati.

BREAKING: Sources are telling @BearcatJournal Cincinnati G Dan Skillings underwent a successful procedure on his knee today, which will reportedly sideline him for “several” weeks. The incident occurred last Monday on opening night against Arkansas Pine-Bluff.
