Buckeye Basketball: Aaron Craft on Crutches After Surgery

Ohio State basketball junior guard Aaron Craft is stuck on crutches and has a cast on his left ankle but should be ready for the 2012-2013 season with time to spare.

OSU athletics spokesman Dan Wallenberg confirmed to The Lantern that Craft has had a bone spur removed from his left ankle.

Wallenberg did not respond to The Lantern’s request for comment regarding the date of Craft’s procedure.

Despite having the ankle wrapped in a red cast, Wallenberg said that Craft, who started in each of the Buckeyes’ 39 games during the 2011-12 season and averaged more than 32 minutes per game, will be “fine in a couple weeks.”
