USC's Cunningham out for season

Dec 14, 2007 - 4:53 AM LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - Southern California redshirt freshman Kasey Cunningham suffered a torn ACL and lateral meniscus tear in his left knee and will undergo season-ending surgery, the team announced on Thursday.

The injury occurred during USC's practice on Wednesday, and the surgery is expected to take place within the next few weeks, according to Dr. Thomas Vangsness.

The 6-7 forward averaged 2.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in nine games - three starts - this season.

Cunningham redshirted during the 2006-07 season after tearing the ACL in the same knee during his senior year at Cibola High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
