Weathers, a scrappy senior captain and sixth man, will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and a torn meniscus, Jones confirmed Monday after receiving MRI results.
The injury leaves the Spartans (7-3, 2-0 MEAC) without what Jones called the team's "glue," even if Weathers' 4.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per game might not seem significant.
"He was one of our best captains, really, keeping guys together and making sure everybody's doing the right thing," Jones said. "We're going to lose that."
Weathers, a 6-foot-5 Los Angeles native, suffered the injury with 8:10 remaining in NSU's 91-87 MEAC-opening win over Florida A&M on Thursday. He landed awkwardly after driving to the basket in transition.
