“Xavier has battled this injury for a while now and we fully support his decision to have surgery,” ISU head coach Steve Prohm said. “He tried to play through it, but it became clear that the best thing for his future was to have this surgery and work toward getting him healthy.”
Foster, an Oskaloosa, Iowa native, played in seven games, averaging 4.0 points and 7.8 minutes per contest.
The surgery is expected to sideline Foster for 8-12 weeks.
