Rhode Island's Hassan Martin out indefinitely with leg injury

Rhode Island will be without one of its best players for the foreseeable future.

Forward Hassan Martin will be forced to sit out Tuesday's contest against Old Dominion with a quadricep injury, head coach Dan Hurley told Jeff Goodman of ESPN, and the injury is expected to sideline the senior indefinitely.

Martin is coming off a 14-point performance against Providence on Dec. 3 in a 63-60 defeat.

Over the course of eight games this season, Martin has averaged 16.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, and a remarkable 3.9 blocks in 28.8 minutes. His most notable performance came in an 82-73 victory over Belmont, in which he netted 31 points and blocked three shots.
