DEIVON SMITH NEWS

Out Tuesday night Smith (shoulder) won't play against Georgetown, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Impact The Johnnies' starting point guard was considered doubtful, so this comes as little surprise. Smith, who's nursing a sprained shoulder, will miss his second game of the season and his first since Nov. 30. His next chance to play will come on Jan. 18 against Seton Hall.

Doubtful for Tuesday Smith (shoulder) is not expected to appear in Tuesday's game against Georgetown, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Head coach Rick Pitino has stated that "as of now" Deivon Smith will be inactive for Tuesday's game against the Hoyas. The 6-foot senior has seen action in 16 games this season (13 starts), averaging 10.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.9 steals on 27.8 minutes per game. If Smith is sidelined as expected, Simeon Wilcher would likely move into St. John's starting lineup.

Toss-up for Tuesday Smith told reporters that he's day-to-day and 50/50 to play Tuesday against Georgetown, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Smith's shoulder sprain isn't expected to keep him sidelined for long, but it's certainly possible that he could miss Tuesday's contest against the Hoyas. On the flip side, the guard could suit up against Georgetown just as feasibly. Smith averages 10.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists as the Johnnies' starting point guard.

Suffers dislocated shoulder Smith suffered a dislocated shoulder in St. John's game against Villanova and is questionable to return, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Scoring heating up Smith has averaged 14.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.5 steals across four games since returning to the starting lineup Dec. 17.

Impact Smith's usage during non-conference play had been inconsistent at best, and he was far from the regular triple-double threat many fantasy managers thought they were getting when drafting the Utah transfer before the season. The senior now appears to be settling into his role, however, as the recent four-game stretch saw a season-high in both scoring (20) and rebounding (13) in a Dec. 28 game against Delaware. He's also attempted double-digit shots five games in a row, which is significant considering that hadn't happened, even in back-to-back contests, during the first eight games of the year. The outlook is certainly optimistic with Big East play set to enter full swing.

Impact Smith was questionable heading into the clash with Kansas State, but the guard played a solid amount of minutes and contributed for the Johnnies in their big win over Jerome Tang's Wildcats. His shot wasn't at its best (2-for-6 from the field), but he didn't play with any kind of a restriction and should be good to go moving forward.
