Alabama F Key to undergo knee surgery

Nov 7, 2017 - 6:53 PM Alabama standout forward Braxton Key is slated to undergo surgery Tuesday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, coach Avery Johnson said.

Johnson said a timetable for Key's return will be determined after the surgery.

Key was a member of the SEC All-Freshman team last season after averaging 12.0 points and 5.7 rebounds. He considered opting for the NBA draft before deciding to return for his sophomore season.

The Crimson Tide will also be without ballyhooed freshman point guard Collin Sexton when they open the season against Memphis on Friday. Sexton's eligibility is under scrutiny by the NCAA and he hasn't been cleared to play.
