Creighton guys’s basketball guard Pop Isaacs is anticipated to go through hip surgical treatment and miss out on the remainder of the season, sources informed ESPN on Saturday.
Isaacs went through hip surgical treatment last spring, however it has actually continued to be a problem. He was held out of the season opener versus UTRGV.
The 6-foot-2 Las Vegas local had actually gone back to playing a few of the very best basketball of his profession, scoring a minimum of 25 points in 3 of his previous 5 video games– consisting of a 27-point, 7-rebound, 4-assist efficiency in Creighton’s win over No. 1 Kansas on Wednesday.
Isaacs was balancing 16.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.9 helps through 8 video games.
He moved to Creighton last spring after investing 2 seasons at Texas Tech, where he made All-Big 12 honors and led the Red Raiders to the NCAA competition in March.
Greg McDermott and the Bluejays have actually struggled strongly with injuries, with beginning guard Steven Ashworth handling a sprained ankle last month and Ryan Kalkbrenner missing out on one video game with a lower-body injury. Without Isaacs, Creighton is brief on tested backcourt gamers. Anticipate the Bluejays to play larger, with Jamiya Neal moving to shooting guard and Mason Miller and Jackson McAndrew playing together more regularly at the forward positions.
Creighton (6-3) hosts UNLV on Saturday.
