Mississippi's Moody sidelined with leg injury

Ole Miss guard Stefan Moody is out at least two months with a stress fracture in his lower left leg.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) Mississippi guard Stefan Moody is expected to be sidelined for at least two months because of a stress fracture in his lower left leg.

The school released a statement on Monday saying that Moody's injury was discovered last week and he has already had surgery. He is expected to miss 8-12 weeks while he recovers.

Moody, a 5-foot-10 rising senior, led the Rebels with 16.6 points per game last season, helping Ole Miss advance to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons.

Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said in the statement that, ''Stef is a very strong young man, who we expect to make a complete recovery before the start of team workouts in the fall.''
