DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Duke's Martynas Pocius will have season-ending surgery on his left ankle.

The junior reserve averaged four points and 2.5 rebounds in four games this season for the sixth-ranked Blue Devils (8-0).

Pocius originally injured the ankle while playing in Lithuania over the summer and re-injured it in the Blue Devils' win against Eastern Kentucky on Nov. 25, the school said Tuesday.

Pocius is scheduled to undergo surgery in January, which will allow for ankle swelling to go down. The guard had similar surgery on his right ankle after last season.
