Out with hamstring complaint Zegarowski isn't available for Saturday's game versus St. John's due to a hamstring injury but isn't expected to be sidelined very long, Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.com reports.

Impact Zegarowski reportedly suffered the injury in the Blue Jays' last game. Fortunately, the issue isn't believed to be serious, so he may be in line for a swift return to action. Shereef Mitchell is set to man the point Saturday in his stead, while Zegarowski will have a full week to recover before Creighton returns to action again Jan. 16 versus Butler.

Not available Saturday Davis is listed among the unavailable players for Saturday's game against St. John's.

Impact Davis hasn't seen the floor since Dec 11 and has played no more than three minutes in a game this season, so his absence shouldn't make many waves from a fantasy standpoint. Still, it leaves the Blue Jays down some additional backcourt depth with Marcus Zegarowski (undisclosed) also sidelined.

Starting against St. John's Mitchell is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against St. John's, according to Jon Nyatawa of the Omaha World-Herald.

Impact Mitchell will move to the starting lineup for the first time this season following the absence of Marcus Zegarowski (undisclosed). Mitchell is averaging 3.4 points and 1.2 rebounds across 14.5 minutes per game, but he should be in line for a bigger workload as a starter this time around.

Won't play Saturday Zegarowski will miss Saturday's game against St. John's.

Impact The reason behind Zegarwoski's absence hasn't surfaced, but it will leave the Blue Jays without their director in the backcourt. Shereef Mitchell will stand in for Zegarowski on the point and figures to see an expanded workload in his first start of the season.

Has good night in limited minutes Bishop recorded nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 18 minutes in the 89-53 win over Seton Hall on Wednesday.

Impact Bishop who has been struggling to take the next step, performed rather well in a limited showing during the win Wednesday. The forward was on trend to have his best performance of the season, right before he was pulled with others to give the bench time in a blowout win over Seton Hall. Bishop went a solid 60 percent from the floor and almost perfect from the line. Hopefully for his sake, this is a turn of the page as a new year begins.

No. 7 Creighton routs Seton Hall 89-53, Jefferson scores 19

Damien Jefferson scored 16 of his season-high 19 points in the first half and No. 7 Creighton got off to a fast start on its way to an 89-53 victory over Seton Hall

JANUARY 7, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Season bests in scoring and steals Jefferson had 18 points (9-13 FG), eight rebounds, six steals and three assists across 32 minutes in Saturday's 67-65 victory over Providence.

Impact In his second season as a full-time starter, Jefferson has increased his averages across the board through Creighton's first 10 games, posting career highs in points (11.4 ppg), rebounds (5.6 rpg) and assists (3.1 spg). It was the steals Saturday that proved particularly valuable for rotisserie formats, as Jefferson as recorded at least one steal in eight consecutive games, collecting 10 total over his last three. Of course, fantasy players can't count on a six-pack every night, but overall, the overall all-around production helps Jefferson warrant consideration even outside of Big East-only formats.

Gives season best in big win Jones recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3PT, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 13 minutes in 66-61 win over Xavier on Wednseday.

Impact Jones put together his best in the win Wednesday. The guard co-led the Bluejays in points and followed it up with a handful of rebounds. Jones has showed since his commitment to Creighton, that he can provide in more ways than just one. He is a versatile player that truly rounds out the role playing position. If Creighton wants to continue to play with the best, Jones will need to continue to impress.
