The Fighting Illini Men's Basketball program announced that sophomore forward David Mirkovic underwent successful surgery today in Indianapolis after suffering a left foot injury during a team workout in Champaign on July 31. He is expected to make a full recovery but the team did not give a timeline for his return.

Mirkovic is a key returner from last year's Final Four team where he averaged 13.3 points per game, 8.8 rebounds per game, and 2.6 assists per game in his freshman season.
