A MRI on Sunday showed Charlotte 49ers sophomore forward Charles Dewhurst has ACL and MCL tears in his right knee. He is scheduled for surgery at the end of the week, team officials confirmed.
Dewhurst, who starred at Charlotte Latin, was injured during the second half of Saturday’s 10-point loss at Maryland. He had just scored a layup to tie the game at 49 when he fell hard to the floor.
Dewhurst will miss the rest of the season – the second time during his short collegiate career he has been sidelined by injury.
Shortly into his first season, Dewhurst suffered a high ankle sprain during practice. He never played again, using the season as a redshirt. He was a redshirt freshman last season. Dewhurst averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game this season and had been serving as backup point guard after part-time starter Michael Gerrity quit the team shortly into the season.

Very, very unfortunate for Charles. It was a terrible sight. I know Charles will battle back.
tragic. gerrity quiting hurt me, but seeing dew hurt - hurts more
Good luck on your recovery Charles. You have always worked hard. Work just a diligently on your rehab.
God is not a 49er fan this year
can he have 2 medical redshirts?
Only if his rehab costs him next year as well. But does he really want to spend 6 years here?
Hopefully he makes a full recovery and we won't have to worry about it.
Best wishes Charles, get well soon.
