The NCAA has granted injured Minnesota forward Trevor Mbakwe a sixth season of eligibility.
The Golden Gophers announced the decision on Friday. It's not known if Mbakwe will accept the season or turn pro.
The 6-foot-8 power forward missed almost the entire season with a torn ACL in his right knee. He was the Gophers leading scorer and rebounder when he went down in the seventh game, a loss to Dayton at a tournament in Florida in November.
Mbakwe has not decided if he will accept the sixth season. In a post on his Twitter account, he thanks everyone for their support and says he's ''really happy about the NCAA decision to give me the option of having another year.''
