Siena's Martens will miss 2011-12 season

Siena is reporting that junior forward Davis Martens will miss the 2011-12 season following hip surgery to repair a labrum tear on Aug. 30.

Martens averaged 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds last season and likely would have had a bigger impact this season with the graduation of Ryan Rossiter.

“I’m going to do what I can to be there for the team, and support my teammates,” Martens said. “It’s disappointing, but I’m going to hit my rehab hard and hopefully return better than before.”

According to Siena, the labrum tear resulted from a congenital condition called Femoral Acetabular Impingement Syndrome.

“We want Davis to have a full recovery, and rejoin the team at 100 percent,” head coach Mitch Buonaguro said. “The surgery was successful, which is obviously great news. He has such a promising future with our program, and we can’t wait to have him back on the floor next year.”

Siena has already received word that newcomers Imoh Silas and Lionel Gomis will be unable to play this year, due to an NCAA decision.

Siena is appealing that decision.

Siena hosts their annual Sneak Preview, tonight at 5 p.m., in downtown Albany.
