College of Charleston G Chealey out for year with leg injury

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — College of Charleston point guard Joe Chealey is out for the season after an injury to lower left leg in practice this week.

Coach Earl Grant said on Wednesday that Chealey will need surgery on the injured leg.

The 6-foot-3 junior played in 60 games and made 42 starts for the Cougars during the past two seasons. He averaged 12.4 points and 3.3 assists last season.

Grant said he was disappointed for Chealey, who he said had worked hard in the offseason preparing to lead the Cougars.
