No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball point guard Channise Lewis underwent surgery on Tuesday for a torn lateral meniscus in her left knee and is expected to miss a couple of months, according to a team spokesperson.
The junior guard suffered the injury in a scrimmage against Lincoln on Oct. 29 and has missed the Terps’ first two games of the season against Wagner and then-No. 8 South Carolina.
Lewis is the second player that Maryland has lost to a knee injury. In October, freshman guard Zoe Young suffered a torn ACL during a non-contact drill.
In her first two seasons, Lewis played just over 26 minutes per contest, working as the team’s facilitator. The Miami, Florida, native has averaged five assists and 4.8 points per game during her tenure in College Park.
Lewis’ starts fluctuated last year, and she wasn’t expected to be a starter this season. Freshman guard Ashley Owusu has taken the starting point guard spot, averaging 17.5 points and five assists per game. But the loss of Lewis leaves the team with just Owusu and sophomore guard Taylor Mikesell as established ball handlers.
If Lewis misses enough time, Maryland can apply for a medical waiver through the NCAA that would give her another season of eligibility. Otherwise, she would only have one year left with Brenda Frese and the Terps.
Love and prayers for our Channise Lewis, who had knee surgery this morning.

But Huerter had to exit the game early after being fouled hard by Nikola Jokic. Len picked up where he left of though, finishing with a season-high 17 points, along with seven rebounds.
Bad news for Kevin Huerter after just starting to heat up this season.
