Camby expected to miss UMass game with Syracuse
From United Press International, 12/30/1995
BOSTON, Dec. 30 – Marcus Camby, the center for No. 1 Massachusetts who suffered a bruised knee Friday night, was expected to miss Saturday night's game against No. 14 Syracuse in the final of the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu.
Although there has been no official confirmation from the tournament site, various outlets in Boston have reported that the 6-11 junior will miss the game after suffering a bruised knee during the Minutemen's 78-63 semifinal victory against Southern California. He was taken to the locker room where x-rays that were taken were negative. Camby, a candidate for the John Wooden Award, is averaging 17.4 points per game this season. He missed four games last season, three after suffering a hamstring injury.
