The UMass Lowell men’s basketball team does expect to have junior forward Victor Colon back in action this week.

Colon did not play Saturday after suffering a leg injury on Tuesday night in a win against Stonehill. X-rays were negative, and he might even be back as early as Wednesday on the road against American International College.

Colon, 6-foot-3 native of Chicago, leads the River Hawks in scoring (14.5 points per game) and is second in rebounding (5.7 rebounds per game). He ranks 10th in the Northeast-10 in scoring and fourth in 3-point shooting, hitting at a 42.4 percent clip.
