Maryland's hopes of a deep tournament run took a hit Sunday, as the school announced starting center Michal Cekovsky will miss the remainder of the season with a fractured left ankle.

The injury occurred in the second half of Sunday's game against Wisconsin.

"I feel badly for Ceko as he has endured a number of injuries throughout the season," head coach Mark Turgeon said. "It felt like he was really starting to turn the corner and his best basketball was ahead of him. We anticipate a full recovery for next season and we will be there to support him through the rehabilitation process."

In 17 games this season, Cekovsky has averaged 7.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
