Butler G Myles Tate tore ACL in left knee

Butler guard Myles Tate tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during last week’s Big East tournament, the school said Monday.

Tate will undergo surgery and Butler said a recovery timeline will be released at a later date.

Tate sustained the injury during Thursday’s 87-56 tournament quarterfinal loss to Creighton. He was helped off the floor during the second half after scoring four points in 16 minutes.

The freshman averaged 6.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 25 games (18 starts) this season. He led the squad with 29 steals.

Butler went 10-15 this season.
