Advertiser

Marshall basketball player Octavius Spann's recovery from injuries in an auto accident will take longer than expected.

Coach Donnie Jones says Spann fractured a hip and suffered a concussion in the April 23 accident in Huntington.

Jones initially said Spann would be sidelined four to six weeks. Now Jones says the recovery period will be eight to 10 weeks.

The 6-foot-6 Spann sat out the 2007-08 season as a transfer from Georgetown.
