CINCINNATI — UC basketball is reportedly going without Dan Skillings Jr. for a chunk non-conference play. Bearcat Journal's Chad Brendel dropped the news that Skillings had a "successful procedure" on the knee he injured last week against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and is out for "several" weeks.

Skillings is arguably Cincinnati's best player on the deepest roster Wes Miller's assembled during his tenure. He posted 17 points and 11 rebounds in the opener after averaging 12.9 points and 6.4 rebounds last season. Now the rarely-injured Skillings looks like he'll miss the trip to Northern Kentucky and possibly Villanova.

Wes Miller should have more information later in the week but that depth will need to keep shining once Cincinnati's competition toughens up.

BREAKING: Sources tell @BearcatJournal Cincinnati G Dan Skillings had a successful procedure on his knee today that will keep him sidelined for what we are told is "several" weeks. The incident occurred on opening night last Monday against Arkansas Pine-Bluff.
