BOULDER, Colo. – California men's basketball junior guard Devin Askew underwent sports hernia surgery on Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season, head coach Mark Fox announced Thursday. Askew's surgery was successful and he is expected to make a full recovery.
 
"I am disappointed for Devin because he loves to play," Fox said. "Our team will rally again to support him in recovery. We are encouraged that the procedure went well and he will make a full recovery in time to have a full offseason."
 
Askew averaged a team-leading 15.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in 13 games played (all starts) this season, but missed eight of Cal's past 12 contests due to either injury or illness. He scored 17-plus points eight times, including back-to-back games with career highs of 23 against USC on Nov. 30 and 25 at then-No. 4 Arizona on Dec. 4. The Sacramento native is in his first season with the Golden Bears after starting his college career at Kentucky in 2020-21 and playing his sophomore year at Texas in 2021-22.
 
Cal is back in action tonight at Colorado. Tipoff from the CU Events Center in Boulder is at 7 p.m. PST/8 p.m. MST on the Pac-12 Network.
