Oklahoma's Hand out five months

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

08/17/2010 - Norman, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oklahoma guard Whitney Hand will miss five months after undergoing microfracture surgery Tuesday to repair cartilage damage in her right knee.

Hand, the 2009 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, missed the majority of last season after suffering an ACL tear in the knee in a November 27 game against San Diego State.

Hand was initially scheduled for an arthroscopic surgery to reduce swelling. But the cartilage damage was discovered during the procedure, necessitating the microfracture surgery.

The five-month timetable means Hand would return around mid-January, as Oklahoma gets into its conference schedule.
