Syracuse freshman forward Chris McCullough will miss the remainder of the season with a torn right anterior cruciate ligament, SU Athletics announced in an email around 3 p.m. on Monday afternoon.

McCullough left the Orange’s 70-57 win over Florida State on Sunday night and did not return. The email from SU Athletics cites head coach Jim Boeheim after Boeheim did not offer any new information on McCullough’s injury on the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches’ teleconference Monday morning.

Tyler Roberson replaced McCullough on Sunday and is expected to start in his place. McCullough was averaging 9.3 points and 6.9 rebounds heading into the game against the Seminoles and his absence will force Boeheim to use inexperienced center Chinonso Obokoh as the first big man off SU’s bench.

It was the second-straight Monday that the Orange lost a frontcourt player for the season. Last week it was announced that junior forward DaJuan Coleman was out for the season and now Syracuse will be without McCullough as well.

SU (12-4, 3-0 ACC) will be back in action against Wake Forest (9-8, 1-3) at 8 p.m. on Tuesday in the Carrier Dome.
