St. John’s starting wing Ian Jackson is currently in a walking boot and will miss Saturday’s game against Creighton due to an ankle sprain, head coach Rick Pitino said on Friday. He injured the ankle in Wednesday’s win against Marquette.

Jackson has started in 19 of 26 games for the Red Storm and is averaging 10.4 points and 2.3 rebounds per game this season. The transfer from North Carolina and former five-star recruit has become a crucial part of St. John’s rotation, who is ranked No.
