CBKB: Georgetown�s leading scorer Freeman has diabetes


Associated Press

WASHINGTON � Georgetown�s leading scorer Austin Freeman has been diagnosed with diabetes. His status for the team�s upcoming games is uncertain.

Freeman disclosed his condition in an interview with The Washington Post. He and coach John Thompson III told the Post that the junior guard�s long-term playing career should not be affected, but Thompson wouldn�t say whether Freeman will be able to play in Saturday�s regular season finale against Cincinnati or in next week�s Big East tournament.
Freeman missed Monday night�s loss to West Virginia and was limited in Saturday�s loss to Notre Dame. He was thought to have a stomach virus.
Freeman is averaging 17 points per game for the No. 19 Hoyas, who have lost four of their last five.
