Ahmed Hill underwent successful surgery on his left leg on Tuesday afternoon, August 11. The surgery was performed by Dr. Tony McPherron at LewisGale Montgomery Hospital.
Hill, a rising sophomore from Augusta, Georgia, suffered a partial tear to the patella tendon in his left leg during individual workouts earlier this month. Following further evaluations, it was decided that surgery would be needed. No timetable has been set for his return to the court, but he is expected to miss all preseason conditioning activities.
Hill appeared in all 33 games as a freshman for the Hokies in the 2014-15 season, making a team-high 30 starts. He averaged 8.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

Why can't we have nice things?
Damn, Damn.
This sucks.
Buzz has had the guys doing some pretty intense workouts this offseason, it's a shame Med got hurt. I hope he makes a full recovery and gets back onto the court soon. We'll need him.
Saw him on crutches the other day, didn't realize it was that bad. Mostly when you see that this time of year, it's just minor dings, not full blown surgery stuff.
These types of injuries take 1-2 months to recover from. Toss in make-up time for conditioning and I doubt he's back to form before December.
Luckily we have about 1,000 G/F wings on the team now.
