NORMAN, Oklahoma -- University of Oklahoma sophomore guard Willie Warren will have season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his injured right ankle on Wednesday.

The Sporting News Preseason Preseason Player of the Year originally hurt his ankle during a January practice and has missed the last four games due to injury. He reinjured it in OU’s Feb. 17 loss to Colorado.

Warren averaged a team-high 16.3 points per game in 21 games this season.

Oklahoma closes its regular season Saturday against No. 23 Texas A&M.
