Penn State’s Claxton Tears ACL: Penn State standout Geary Claxton’s MRI revealed a torn ACL, an injury that will end his collegiate career. The injury occurred during Tuesday’s 80-55 loss against No. 16 Wisconsin when the forward tried to get an offensive rebound, got tangled with Badger center Brian Butch and landed awkwardly on his knee. He’ll undergo surgery and begin rehabilitation later this month. The 6-5, 215-pound Claxton averaged 18.7 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. He ranked second in scoring in the Big Ten and ends his career as the Nittany Lions’ fifth all-time leading scorer.
