COLLEGE PARK — Four days before Thanksgiving, the last thing Dion Wiley probably wanted to think about was food.
The Maryland men's basketball team's reserve guard sat out Sunday's game against Towson with what the team called a stomach virus. After the Terps' 71-66 win, coach Mark Turgeon couldn't say whether the sophomore would return for the team's home game Tuesday against winless Stony Brook.
"I don't know if it's the stomach flu or food poisoning," he said. "We're going to have to figure that out. He'll probably be back Tuesday if it's food poisoning. Stomach flu, I don't know, because it lasts a little bit longer."
In his first three games since returning from a torn meniscus that sidelined him last season, Wiley averaged 2.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game. He is 2-for-12 overall from the field, including 0-for-5 from beyond the arc.
Michal Cekovsky's absence Sunday was less surprising. The junior center sprained his foot shortly before Maryland's opener and has yet to play this season. Turgeon said he's day-to-day.
"He's starting to do a little bit in practice, but not a lot," he said. "So we'll see."
