Playing through torn tendon Scott is playing through a torn tendon in his thumb, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Impact The guard will continue to play for the Johnnies' NCAA Tournament run, but he'll reportedly require surgery after the season. Still, according to Scott, he doesn't notice the injury while playing. Thus, it shouldn't hinder him all that much as St. John's enters the Big Dance with high expectations after a magical season.

Part of starting lineup Scott is part of the Red Storm's starting lineup for their quarterfinal game Thursday against Butler at New York City.

Impact Scott will replace Sadiku Ayo, meaning both will swap their roles from the Red Storm's previous game. In Big East starts this season, the former is averaging 8.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Out of starting five Scott (knee) isn't starting for St. John's but will play against Marquette on Saturday.

Impact Scott was a game-time call with a knee ailment, and the fact that the senior, who's started the past 16 games for the Johnnies, isn't starting, means he's likely a little ways away from being 100 percent. Still, he'll reportedly be available off the bench against the Golden Eagles. It remains to be seen if he'll be on a minutes restriction of any sort.

Impact Scott played just three minutes and logged one rebound, missing his lone shot attempt. "He was limping. The trainer told me he was 70-80 percent. I quickly found out he was not 70-80 percent," Johnnies' head coach Rick Pitino said, before adding that he was "hopeful" to have him back against the Golden Eagles next Saturday.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Scott (knee) is in the starting lineup Saturday against Seton Hall.

Impact Scott suffered an apparent knee injury in Wednesday's matchup with Butler, but the senior appears ready to go ahead of Saturday's contest. Scott is averaging 8.7 points and 4.3 rebounds through 29 games with the Red Storm after transferring from North Texas.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee injury Scott suffered a knee injury during Wednesday's game against Butler, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Impact Scott played for the majority of the game but did hyperextend his knee during the matchup. His status for Saturday's game against Seton Hall is yet to be determined. More news should surface shortly.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Steady for Red Storm Scott recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 66-41 win over Georgetown.

Impact Scott has now found himself in double-digit scoring in five of his last six games while also averaging 6.5 rpg over that span. He's also converted two or more three-pointers three times during that stretch, though his success rate from distance on the year is a meager 28.6 percent -- a three-year low.

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.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 20 points off bench Scott racked up 20 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 2OT loss to Baylor.

Impact The dynamic scorer was relegated to the bench with guard Simeon Wilcher rejoining the starting lineup, but Scott still made a huge contribution to the near win. The 6-foot-7 senior logged a huge game, just two points away from being the teams leading scorer. His five three-point makes were a season-high, as was his 20 points altogether. He'll look to keep this momentum going as the Red Storm look to get a win on Sunday against Georgia.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to bench Scott is not starting Thursday's game versus Baylor, the team announced.

Impact Scott has started three of four games this season but has been moved to the bench for Thursday's contest. Simeon Wilcher will start at shooting guard and Kadary Richmond will start at small forward, giving the Red Storm a smaller lineup to start out the game.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

11 points back in rotation Scott chipped in 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 66-45 win over Wagner.

Impact Scott returned to the rotation after logging just three minutes in the Johnnies' recent win against Quinnipiac. His 24 minutes and 11 points bodes well for his future role with the Red Storm, which could mark his huge dip in usage as an anomaly.

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Wagner Scott is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Wagner.

Impact St. John's will shake things up for this game against Wagner and the entrance of Scott, who will be making his second start of the season, is one of three changes for this game. Scott started the season opener Nov. 4 against Fordham, where he scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting across 24 minutes of action.

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Major minutes dip Scott did not record a point across three minutes off the bench in Saturday's 96-73 victory over Quinnipiac.

Impact Scott started the season opener Nov. 4 against Fordham, where he scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting across 24 minutes of action. It's unclear what landed Scott in the doghouse for the second game of the year, but he was largely a non-factor. While Scott was a key contributor the last two seasons at North Texas, it's clear he'll have to prove himself again to new head coach Rick Pitino.

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Saturday Scott is not starting Saturday's game versus Quinnipiac, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Impact Scott started the Red Storm's season opener but will come off the bench Saturday at Deivon Smith joins the starting five. Scott played 24 minutes in the opener, recording 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Warming up Friday Scott is warming up ahead of Friday's game versus FAU, Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle reports.

Impact Scott left Thursday's game versus Tulane early after logging just nine minutes due to an undisclosed reason. However, it appears that Scott is good to go against FAU.
