Things keep getting worse for Alex Farrer. The senior guard and Phoenix native underwent surgery Nov. 9 for what trainers thought was a dislocated kneecap. Farrer suffered the injury six days before the LSU men’s basketball team began the season.But coach Trent Johnson said Thursday that Farrer’s prognosis is much worse than originally thought. “The report from Alex is that it was a lot worse than just a dislocated kneecap,” Johnson said. “I would have liked to have taken him to New York, but I’m not taking him now. That was very depressing for me just because I was hoping that it was a worst-case scenario dislocated kneecap.”Doctors found several “loose bodies,” or bones and joints that had to be removed from Farrer’s knee, said senior associate sports information director Kent Lowe.With a dislocated kneecap, Farrer was only slated to miss four to six weeks. It’s looking more like he might miss the whole season. “That’s what I’m guessing,” Johnson said. “[LSU trainer] Shawn [Eddy] just said it didn’t look good.”Farrer was supposed to finally step into the starting lineup for his final season in Baton Rouge. He was honored on the 2007 and 2009 SEC Academic Honor Roll.—–Contact Chris Branch at [email protected]
