WASHINGTON — Maryland Men’s Basketball Head Coach Mark Turgeon announced Sunday that junior forward Ivan Bender suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee in the teams 66-45 win over UMBC Friday. Bender is set to miss the rest of the 2017-2018 season.

Bender is scheduled to have surgery later this week.
