Staph infection. Best wishes for the big guy.
ASHEVILLE – UNC Asheville basketball player Kenny George underwent a partial amputation of his right foot after contracting MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant staph infection, according to ESPN.com.
The Citizen-Times reported Friday that George, a 7-foot-9, 375-pound center who received national attention for his size and play last season, underwent the partial amputation.
The senior from Chicago, the nation's tallest player, has had several surgeries and other procedures after his right foot became infected in August at a summer camp for big men in Las Vegas.
