Dale Jones, an Iowa Hawkeyes senior, suffered a fractured right wrist in the team’s game against the Seton Hall Pirates on Thursday night. He’s expected to miss eight-to-nine weeks.

The game with Seton Hall was Jones’ season debut. He missed the team’s first two games.

“All of us feel for Dale, as this is another unfortunate setback in his collegiate career,” head coach Fran McCaffery said. “Dale has demonstrated a tremendous amount of dedication and perseverance returning from two previous season-ending knee injuries. Dale has the support of his teammates and coaches, and we are certain he will have an impact on this team later this season.”

He came to the school in 2015 after spending the first three-years of his college career at a Junior College in Texas. Jones has played limited minutes for the Hawkeyes.

The past two seasons he suffered knee injuries. He suffered his first injury in 2014, before suffering a season-ending injury on Dec. 1, 2015 after playing in the Hawkeyes first six games of the 2015-16 season.
