Lindsey Duvall, Kentucky Women's Basketball Recruit, Sidelined Due to Tumor

A week removed from committing to Kentucky, prized 2017 recruit Lindsey Duvall announced she will miss four-to-six months after a tumor was discovered on her left leg.

Duvall held a press conference Wednesday to announce the news at Bullitt East High School, per Josh Moore of the Herald-Leader.

ESPN.com ranks Duvall as the No. 10 overall prospect and third-ranked point guard in the Class of 2017. She averaged 23.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game during her sophomore season and was expected to have a big 2015-16 campaign. She will miss her entire junior season because of the tumor, though she'll still have a year of eligibility left.

Doctors will determine whether the tumor is malignant when she has surgery Thursday, according to Jason Frakes of USA Today. 

Duvall officially gave her verbal commitment to the Wildcats Nov. 4. She chose them over offers from Louisville and Michigan, among others.
