Missouri forward Laurence Bowers tore his ACL and will miss the upcoming season.

Bowers was a solid multi-category contributor from a fantasy perspective with 11.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.1 steals last year.  He will redshirt this season and return next year.  The Tigers have few inside options outside of Ricardo Ratliffe, so they may opt for a smaller lineup with Kim English playing the four.  Otherwise, redshirt freshman Kadeem Green will see a large increase in playing time.
