The 6-8 sophomore foward was having an up-and-down season with the Hoosiers, averaging 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game and shooting 52.6 percent from the floor. Sporting News slotted Anunoby as the No. 9 pick in its latest NBA mock draft.
The Hoosiers have also been without Collin Hartman since the start of the season. Hartman had knee surgery after suffering a left knee injury during individual workouts in October.
