Georgetown University men’s basketball junior guard KJ Lewis injured his ankle in the Hoyas’ Feb. 24 loss to the Marquette University Golden Eagles and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, Georgetown Athletics announced Feb. 26.

Lewis exited the game with 4:36 remaining in the first half after appearing to injure his lower leg while attempting to grab a rebound. Lewis laid on the court holding his ankle and was helped off the court by staff. He did not play for the rest of the game and returned to the bench in the second half using crutches. 

A spokesperson for Georgetown Athletics said Lewis will not return this season.

“Following a medical evaluation, junior guard KJ Lewis will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season,” Georgetown Athletics wrote in a post on X. “Lewis suffered an injury to his left ankle that occurred in the game against Marquette on Tuesday, February 24.”

After Lewis’ initial fall, Head Coach Ed Cooley said losing Lewis would be damaging for the team. 

“I’m pretty sure he’s gonna get an X-ray and MRI,” Cooley said in the postgame press conference after Marquette. “Just cross our fingers and pray that he’s okay, because that’s definitely a major loss for us.”

Lewis, who transferred to Georgetown from the University of Arizona after two seasons with the Wildcats, has been a key contributor this season, averaging 14.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. 

The loss of the Hoyas’ leading scorer leaves a significant gap in Georgetown’s rotation as the team prepares for its Feb. 28 matchup against Xavier University (13-15, 5-12 Big East) and the final stretch before the Big East tournament.
