Rati Andronikashvili Tears ACL, Will Miss Season

OMAHA, Neb. – Creighton men's basketball guard Rati Andronikashvili will miss the 2020-21 season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a recent practice.

"It goes without saying that everyone in our program is just devastated for Rati right now," said Creighton head coach Greg McDermott. "He was just getting comfortable in our system and beginning to showcase his many talents. I know Rati will remain actively involved in our program while he's sidelined, and we look forward to his healthy return."

Andronikashvili was the nation's No. 64 recruit by 247Sports, and one of the top international newcomers. The Tbilisi, Georgia, product has been a regular on the Georgian National Team and averaged 16.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists in eight games at the U20 European Championships in 2019.
