STANFORD, Calif. – Redshirt junior Kodye Pugh has been ruled out for the 2019-20 season due to injury. A Maryland native, Pugh was injured in Stanford's 58-34 victory over Sam Basket Massagno on Aug. 25 in Switzerland. The 6-8 forward has played in 38 games for the Cardinal over the last two seasons.
Statement from Kodye Pugh:
"To my Stanford family and friends, I regret to inform you that I will be out for the upcoming basketball season due a knee injury while playing in Europe this summer. I decided that it was best for my career to pursue the needed surgery quickly, in order to start the rehabilitation and healing process.
While I was saddened by the injury, I am hopeful that I will be ready to continue my basketball career next year, and I'm excited for my upcoming senior year. As a leader on the team, I will continue to cheer on and encourage my teammates from the sideline, and support them and the staff in any way possible.
I want to thank everyone for your continued support throughout this entire process and over the years. I am looking forward to a great season. I know that everything happens for a reason and I'm trusting God."
