Undergoes surgery Mgbako underwent surgery for a foot fracture and still has late November as his targeted return date, per Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle.

Impact Mgbako was already expected to be sidelined until late November, but now we know the forward underwent surgery ahead of the season. Still, Aggies' head coach Bucky McMillian reportedly expects him back "sooner than later," so while Mgbako should miss the start of Texas A&M's season, this isn't expected to be a long-term situation. The Indiana transfer averages 12.2 points and 4.6 rebounds last season in Bloomington.
