MSU freshman center Goran Suton underwent surgery Monday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. He will be out four to eight weeks, MSU assistant sports information director Matt Larson said.

The meniscus is cartilage within a joint of the knee. The injury was discovered when Suton's knee was checked out because of soreness.

The 6-foot-10 Suton is a Lansing native who led Lansing Everett to the 2004 Class A State Championship with averages of 15.2 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.4 blocked shots per game.

Suton is one of three freshman frontcourt players on the team this season, along with center Idong Ibok and forward Marquise Gray,
