Jaylen Fisher sustained another injury setback. The school announced the standout guard underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.

There wasn’t a specific incident in which Fisher sustained the injury. Medical staff just determined he needed a scope on the same knee he underwent surgery on for a torn meniscus last January, ending his sophomore season.

Fisher will miss 6-10 weeks, but the hope is he’ll be ready by the season opener on Nov. 7 against Cal State Bakersfield.

Before last season, Fisher had surgery on a torn meniscus in his left knee. As a freshman, Fisher broke his left wrist during the NIT tournament.

Fisher averaged 12.3 points and 5.4 assists in 17 games last season.
