AMES, Ia. — Iowa State will be without the services of 6-foot-7 forward Zoran Talley in Thursday's 7 p.m. game against Iowa at Hilton Coliseum.

An MRI Tuesday revealed a stress fracture in a foot that will result in the junior being sidelined indefinitely, according to an athletics department spokesperson.

Iowa State Cyclones head coach Steve Prohm reacts during the first half of the game against the Boise State Broncos at HTC Center.

He suffered the injury against Western Illinois.

Talley averaged 4.2 points during an average of 18.7 minutes while playing six of the Cyclones' seven games.

Iowa State also could be without Jakolby Long, who is recovering from a concussion suffered during practice over the Thanksgiving break.

If neither plays Thursday, that means the Cyclones will have an eight-player roster for the second game in a row.
