Notre Dame basketball guard David Rivers, injured in an automobile accident Sunday, was listed in stable condition at Elkhart General Hospital 20 miles east of South Bend, Ind., after undergoing surgery for a severe abdominal cut suffered in the accident.

Hospital spokeswoman Barbara Barrett said that Dr. Kirby Gross, the surgeon who operated on Rivers, predicted a complete recovery but said Rivers’ return this season was questionable. Rivers was Notre Dame’s leading scorer the last two seasons.
