Kam Jones - College Basketball News & Rumors

Questionable to play Wednesday Jones (hip) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Villanova, Ben Steele of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Jones picked up a hip injury during Marquette's win against DePaul on Saturday. While the exact nature of this injury is still unclear, the 6-foot-4 sophomore was limited to a season-low 18 minutes against the Blue Demons. Therefore, it's not surprising he could be left sidelined for at least one more game. Jones has averaged a team-high 16.0 points to go along with 3.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season, so his potential absence would likely leave David Joplin to move into the starting lineup while second-leading scorer Olivier-Maxence Prosper could also see an increased offensive role.
