Deivon Smith - 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.

Deivon Smith - 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.

Jaiden Glover - Returns to action Glover (wrist) finished with no counting stats in one minute during Saturday's 80-68 victory over Villanova.
Impact Glover didn't record a single stat in this win, but at least he was deemed healthy enough to suit up. He's not expected to make an impact coming off the bench due to his limited role in the rotation.

Deivon Smith - Could miss next game Smith (shoulder) could miss Tuesday's game against Georgetown, but he won't be out a long time according to St. John's head coach Rick Pitino, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Smith didn't suffer a dislocated shoulder in Saturday night's win over Villanova after leaving the matchup early. The senior guard did avoid the worst and won't be out long term, but he remains a game-time decision for the Red Storm's next game.

RJ Luis - Season-high scoring in big win Luis posted 30 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-20 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 80-68 win over Villanova.
Impact Luis dropped a season-high 30 points over the Wildcats, and he also logged his third straight game with a double-double due to rebounds. The junior forward's scoring performance was aided a lot by his 16 free throws, but he also was relied on heavily by his team throughout the game. He's averaging 17.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals on 28.5 minutes per game across 17 games this season.

Jaiden Glover - Doubtful for Saturday Glover (wrist) is not expected to appear in Saturday's game against Villanova, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.
Impact Glover continues to deal with a bone bruise in his wrist and is unlikely to return against the Wildcats this weekend. The 6-foot-4 freshman has seen action in 13 games this season, averaging 2.8 points on 7.2 minutes per game. If Glover is ultimately unable to suit up Saturday, his next opportunity to return would come against Georgetown on Tuesday.

Brady Dunlap - May seek medical redshirt Dunlap is dealing with an abdominal tear that will force his absence for the foreseeable future, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.
Impact Dunlap, who has missed the last five-consecutive games, continues to deal with an abdominal tear and may elect to take a redshirt season and preserve his eligibility. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has appeared in 10 games this season (two starts), averaging 5.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 16.5 minutes per game, providing valuable depth at the small forward spot.

RJ Luis - Logs another double-double in win Luis ended Tuesday's 82-72 victory over Xavier with 18 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes.
Impact Luis was a huge proponent of the Johnnies double-digit victory, and he now has logged back-to-back double-doubles. The junior forward made just under half of his field-goal attempts, but he came up especially big by making all six of his free throws in the win. He's now averaging 16.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals on 28.1 minutes per game this season.

Aaron Scott - Huge 12 points over Xavier Scott closed with 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 82-72 win over Xavier.
Impact Scott registered his best performance since early December, even as he was unable to land any three-point shots. The senior forward has been struggling on the offensive front before the big win over the Musketeers, averaging just 2.4 points in the previous five games. If he remains in the starting lineup, though, he should be relied on as a contributor on both fronts of the ball moving forward.
