As Iowa State gets set to take on the Kansas Jayhawks on Wednesday night in one of the biggest showdowns of the early Big 12 basketball season, the Cyclones learned that they will be without forward Milan Momcilovic due to an injury to his non-dominant hand.
According to Cyclone Fanatic, the injury will sideline the forward for 5-6 weeks, which should give him time to heal prior to the start of the postseason.
In 15 games this season, Momcilovic is averaging 10.3 points per game and is hitting 44% from three-point range.

Tip-off between Kansas and Iowa State on Wednesday night is set for 6 p.m. CT. Kansas (12-3, 3-1 in Big 12) is ranked No. 9 in the latest AP Top 25. Iowa State (14-1, 4-0) is ranked No. 2, the program’s highest national ranking ever.
Kansas has turned things around since it lost to West Virginia in the Big 12 opener. The Jayhawks have also made a small adjustment to their starting lineup with Shakeel Moore, who is back from injury, and it’s made a different.
Iowa State just escaped from an overtime win over Texas Tech. But the Cyclones have put together one of the most complete teams in the country. And, earlier this week, two of ISU’s players — Keshon Gilbert and Curtis Jones — ended up on the cover of the latest SLAM digital cover.
The game will air on ESPN2.
