TEMPE -- Arizona State freshman guard Kodi Justice suffered a fractured navicular bone in his left foot Saturday and will miss the rest of the season.
Justice was injured moments after he entered the game in the first half of an 89-70 loss at Stanford. While he returned later in the half, he did not play in the second half. An MRI disclosed the injury Monday.
"I planted on my left foot and felt a pop," Justice said. "As soon as I felt the pop, I knew something was wrong. I tried to come back in and see how it was going, and I couldn't put any pressure on it."
ASU also will again be without guard Roosevelt Scott and center Connor MacDougall for the Oregon State game Wednesday because of a violation of team rules, coach Herb Sendek said. Neither was on the road trip last week.
Justice will have a screw placed in his foot during surgery Friday and was told to expect three-to-five months of recovery time. He was told he will be in a cast for six-to-eight weeks, during which he will be unable to put any weight on the foot. Rehab is expected to take another six-to-eight weeks, he said. Justice said he has broken both ankles before but neither needed surgery.
After playing almost exclusively at point guard until last weekend, Justice spent a lot of time at off guard in tandem with freshman point Tra Holder, scoring a season-high 16 points while playing 23 minutes in a 79-44 victory over California on Thursday.
Justice averaged 4.6 points and 1.6 assists in 18 games. He had 13 points, five rebounds and six assists against UNLV and 12 points against Marquette.
"I've been really pleased with the continued improvement of both Tra and Kodi," Sendek said.
Sophomore Chance Murray will be the backup point guard to Holder, Sendek said.
