Junior forward Duje Dukan will redshirt the 2012-‘13 season, according to a news release from the Wisconsin Athletic Department Sunday.
The Deerfield, Ill., native said the lingering effects of having mononucleosis this fall have stalled his recovery.
“I missed most of the month of September and I felt like I could definitely contribute, but the recovery process has lasted longer than I expected,” Dukan said in a statement. “I feel like I’d be playing catch-up the whole season and I didn’t want to waste a year. I can instead use this season for development and to get stronger and help my teammates reach our goals this season.”
Dukan will return for the 2013-’14 campaign with two years of eligibility remaining.
