PJ Hall out for unknown period of time with patella injury

CLEMSON, S.C. –– Following an MRI on July 15, it was confirmed that junior center PJ Hall suffered a subluxed patella (kneecap) injury. Hall will undergo surgery and there is no timetable yet for his return.

Hall led the Tigers in scoring (15.5 ppg) and finished second in rebounding (5.8 rpg), while blocking the most shots (38) last season. He also posted a team-best 28 double-digit scoring games, including 25 consecutive outings.

Head Coach Brad Brownell

“This is an unfortunate setback for PJ’s recovery process. He’s done an outstanding job in his rehab from his foot surgery earlier this spring. I know he will attack this latest obstacle with the same grit and determination that we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from him. As we all know, PJ has an infectious positive personality and that coupled with his leadership will continue to help our young team.”

“It’s unfortunate, but you can’t change it. Not every road is paved perfectly. I’m going to keep my energy high, and my voice heard to help these guys get ready for the start of the season. Again, this is unfortunate, but God never makes mistakes. We have a lot of enthusiasm and excitement in our program, and I can’t wait to get back on the court.”
