“We expect Nasir to make a full recovery,” head coach Jamie Dixon said in a news release. “The surgery was a success and we know that Nasir will work hard during the rehabilitation process.”
Robinson had surgery Wednesday morning, and his expected timetable for a return could have him back in the lineup anywhere from the team’s third game to its ninth game.
The 6-foot-5, 220 pound junior averaged 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per contest last season, starting in every game for the Panthers.
Pitt will probably turn to sophomore J.J. Richardson or redshirt freshman Talib Zanna to fill Robinson’s spot in the starting lineup while he’s sidelined.
The team’s first exhibition game is this Sunday against Northwood University, at 2 p.m. at the Petersen Events Center.
