Lee Barfknecht Omaha World-Herald

Former Nebraska basketball player Ade Dagunduro, who is part of the Nigerian team in the Summer Olympics, revealed on Facebook that he will miss this afternoon’s game against the United States because of injury.

Dagunduro suffered a hyperextended knee in the first quarter of Nigeria’s 72-53 loss two days ago to Lithuania.

“Should probably be upset I will not be able to play against the USA (a huge dream of mine), but I won’t question the Lord’s plan,” Dagunduro told his Facebook friends.
