ISU point guard Lindsey Wilson had surgery to repair damage to her right shoulder Friday.

The injury, which the third-team All-Big 12 sophomore suffered in October, resulted when she went for a steal during the first week of practice.

“I was going for a steal and my shoulder went back for a second, I felt a sharp pain,” Wilson said.

She said that the original diagnosis was possible torn cartilage, but when the doctors went in with the scope they found more.

Wilson said that her shoulder went as far as it could without dislocating it and there was a bone chip the size of an M & M found.

The doctors were able to fix it and get the chip out, and Wilson said that she is expected to recover fine.

The injury was with Wilson all season long. After games, the Seattle native had to ice her shoulder down. She said it will be nice to have a healthy shoulder next year.

Despite the sore shoulder, Wilson was the second leading scorer on the Cyclones Sweet 16 squad last year with a 14.6 ppg average. Wilson led the team in assists with 173 (5.2 per game) and had 28 steals.

Wilson hit 165 of 346 of her field goal attempts, good for 48 percent. She was also 42 percent from the three-point line, shooting 63 of 150.

She led the team to the Big 12 tournament championship and helped as Iowa State tied its season wins record with 27. The Cyclones finished the year 27-6 after losing in the Midwest regional to Vanderbilt, 84-65.

“I don’t think it was hindering my play,” she said, but added, “my trainer said I probably didn’t realize how bad it was.”

Despite being a success, the surgery will keep Wilson off the court for a maximum of three months she said. She could be shooting in 10 weeks, if not earlier.

On the schedule now is a lot of physical therapy for the junior-to-be as she prepares for next season.
