UConn forward Nik Khamenia needs surgery on his left foot after he was injured Monday against Wagner, coach Dan Hurley said Thursday. Hurley said the sophomore is expected to make a full recovery and will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks.

Khamenia scored 11 points in seven minutes before leaving the 83-41 win. The Duke transfer was averaging 10.7 points and shooting 62% through three games for the fourth-ranked Huskies.

UConn’s November schedule includes games against Arizona and Khamenia’s former team, Duke.
