Chris Singletary is expected to miss between two and four weeks after successful surgery Friday to remove a tear in the meniscus of his right knee.

According to team spokesman Todd Vatter, the location of the tear was toward the back of the knee, which can be considered a best-case scenario because it could potentially cause fewer problems.

Singletary is scheduled to begin rehabilitating the injured knee this weekend.

Kent State will play at Xavier on Friday, Dec. 4, exactly two weeks after the surgery. While expecting Singletary to be back for that game may be overly optimistic, the two-to-four-week timetable could make a return for the Dec. 12 nationally televised game at Pittsburgh still possible.

Stretching the timetable out to four weeks could have Singletary back on the floor for a Dec. 20 home game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

In that case, he would miss six games, including Wednesday’s 70-61 win at Youngstown State, Sunday’s game with Rochester at the M.A.C. Center, and a four-game stretch on the road at South Florida (Nov. 25), Morehead State (Nov. 29), Xavier and PIttsburgh.

The good news for KSU is that Singletary should be back with plenty of time to be ready for the start of the Mid-American Conference season on Jan. 9 at Ohio University.

Singletary was injured on the final play of regulation against Wisconsin-Green Bay when he banked in a shot that forced the game into overtime.
