Xavier Johnson injury: What happened to Indiana guard during game vs Iowa?

Indiana Hoosiers guard Xavier Johnson was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Iowa Hawkeyes due to an arm injury. With just over two minutes remaining in the game, he went up for a dunk and was fouled by Ladji Dembele.

The point guard hit the floor hard. He tried to brace his fall with his left arm and was in some pain after hitting the floor. Johnson then got up and walked to the locker room with the jersey over his head. He wasn't able to return to the game.

Indiana head coach Mike Woodson said he didn't know how serious the injury to his starting point guard was.

"I don't know the severity of X and Malik at this point," Woodson said postgame. "But both went out kind of in pain. I'll know here when I get back there to see what the outcome of that is. But if we have to wait on them, we have to wait on them. But it's the next guy up. We've just got to get the next man ready to play."

Before the injury, Johnson had nine points, three assists, and two rebounds in 23 minutes of play.

Johnson missed 11 games last year due to a broken foot, and seven more games this year with a foot injury.
