Commits to Auburn Freeman has committed to Auburn, according to AL.com.

Impact Even though Freeman's junior season with Creighton was a wash, Auburn will take a chance with the big man, as his size and veteran experience do bring value for a Tiger team that needs some. Not only that, but perhaps Auburn can tap into his Iowa days, when he logged at least 10.0 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in each of his two seasons there.

Will enter portal Freeman will enter the NCAA's transfer portal, according to Jon Walker of the Omaha World-Herald.

Impact As part of Creighton, Freeman never really got off the ground, paving the way for one of the most disappointing outputs by a student-athlete this season. He will look for a fresh start and cap off his collegiate career elsewhere, with a non-Power Conference team a definite possibility.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Blue Jays Freeman (undisclosed) is available for Creighton's clash with Seton Hall on Thursday.

Impact Freeman will be available for Creighton for the first time in three games. The forward averages 5.3 points and 4.2 rebounds.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Wednesday Freeman (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's game at Butler.

Impact Freeman will miss the Bluejays' regular-season finale as he deals with an undisclosed injury. The junior big man will now miss four of Creighton's last five outings. His next chance to see the court will be in the Big East Tournament, which starts next Wednesday.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Wednesday Freeman (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's game at Butler.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Providence Freeman (undisclosed) is listed out ahead of Saturday's game against Providence.

Impact Freeman will miss back-to-back games as he continues working his way back from an undisclosed injury. The junior forward will aim to be back for Wednesday's contest against Butler.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. DePaul Freeman (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's game against DePaul.

Impact Freeman came off the bench and logged 20 minutes in the loss to St. John's, posting six points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal. His absence from this game means he'll aim to return against Providence on Saturday, Feb. 28.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Did not play Wednesday Freeman did not play in Wednesday's 91-84 win at UConn.

Impact Freeman, who started the Bluejays' previous game versus Villanova, did not appear in Wednesday's contest. It's likely this was a coach's decision rather than an injury, considering he's played a maximum of 12 minutes over the last 13 games and Creighton was locked into a close matchup with the No. 5 team in the country so they shortened their rotation a bit. He'll hope to return to the court Saturday in another difficult matchup at St. John's.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Little going in rare start Freeman finished with zero points (0-2 FG) and three rebounds in five minutes during Saturday's 80-69 loss to Villanova.

Impact Freeman made his first start since Dec. 7 here, but his disappointing season continued, as he again barely registered any minutes. Former starter Isaac Traudt still got a bit of run, but the Bluejays moved to a small-ball lineup with Jasen Green at the five, as has been the case for much of the season. It's safe to say at this point Freeman might be looking for a new home for his final year of eligibility, though demand won't be nearly as high as it was this offseason, when he was coming off a year of 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds with the Hawkeyes.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Available Saturday Freeman (illness) will be active for Saturday's game against UConn.

Impact Freeman will make his return for Creighton after missing the Blue Jays' last three games due to illness. The 6-foot-10 junior, who is averaging 6.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.9 blocks on 13.3 minutes per game (18 games), will look to help Creighton pull off a big time upset over the Huskies.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Freeman (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Marquette, Jacob Padilla of Hurrdat Sports reports.

Impact Freeman was considered a game-time call for Tuesday's game, and he's not feeling well enough to suit up. It'll be his third straight DNP, though the first was a Coach's Decision. His next chance to play will come Saturday against UConn.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Wednesday Freeman (illness) is a game-time decision for Creighton's clash at Marquette on Wednesday, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Freeman has missed the Blue Jays' last two games and is in danger of making it three straight absences as he battles an illness. The junior forward, who's come off the bench since early December, has played sparingly since the calendar flipped to 2026, averaging 1.3 points and 3.3 rebounds across 7.3 minutes; his absence shouldn't be the biggest deal for Creighton if he is forced to sit out, especially against a dreadful Marquette squad.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Freeman (illness) doesn't appear to be with Creighton on Wednesday night as the Blue Jays get set to host Xavier, per Hurrdat Sports.

Impact Freeman will miss his second straight game. The forward is reportedly battling an illness, and doesn't look to be on the Blue Jays bench prior to tip-off. He'll look to return Tuesday at Marquette.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Battling illness Freeman (undisclosed) is battling an illness and is a question mark for the Blue Jays against Xavier, per Jacob Padilla of Hurrdat Sports.

Impact Freeman was questionable on Creighton's injury report, and now we know why: he's battling an illness. He reportedly missed practice Tuesday as he tried to get healthy, and he'll likely be a game-time call Wednesday night.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Xavier Freeman (undisclosed) is questionable against Xavier on Wednesday.

Impact Freeman missed Creighton's loss to Providence and is in danger of making it two straight absences. The junior forward, who's come off the bench since early December, averages just 3.3 points and 3.8 rebounds since he was relegated to a backup role.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Shut out against Nebraska Freeman ended with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-2 FT) and four rebounds in 16 minutes during Sunday's 71-50 loss to Nebraska.

Impact Freeman was seemingly starting to turn a corner offensively with back-to-back outings of 14 points, but he was shut out Sunday in a rivalry game, attempting just one shot. Foul trouble wasn't even to blame here, while backup Isaac Traudt ended up seeing 21 minutes. Creighton is now off to a 5-4 start and appears to be at risk of falling out of the NCAA Tournament conversation for the first time since 2018-19, and Freeman -- the team's prize transfer portal aquisition -- has done little to help the cause.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 14 versus Nicholls Freeman finished Tuesday's 96-76 win over Nicholls with 14 points (7-8 FG), four rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes.

Impact Freeman scored a very efficient 14 points Tuesday, hitting seven of his eight shots from the field. He also blocked two shots for just the second time this season. He only played 15 minutes in the blowout win though, and he has only played over 20 minutes twice through eight games this season. Although he has been productive so far this season, his lack of big minutes hurts his ceiling.

Struggles against Baylor Freeman produced four points (2-4 FG), one rebound and one steal in nine minutes during Monday's 81-74 loss to Baylor.

Impact Freeman made his fourth consecutive start for the Bluejays, but he still appears to be finding his rhythm after offseason knee surgery kept him off the court for an extended period of time. He also struggled to box out in this one, and coach Greg McDermott was forced to pull him from the game and chew him out a bit on the sidelines. For most of the remainder of the contest, Jasen Green ended up taking over at center in a small-ball lineup. Considering what was presumably a large NIL deal that Freeman received to transfer to Creighton, the team won't be giving up on him just yet, but he'll need to show better hustle and efficiency if he's going to continue to play a big role. Creighton gets a quick turnaround, drawing Iowa State in the Players Era Festival on Tuesday afternoon.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in Wednesday's win Freeman ended Wednesday's 75-60 win over North Dakota with 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals across 21 minutes.

Impact Freeman made his third straight start Wednesday and put together a good performance across the board. He hit all six of his shots from the field to score 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds (five offensive) in his second straight game. He also was excellent on the defensive end, setting season highs in steals (three) and blocks (three). He faces a more difficult test Monday at Baylor.
