GTD for Saturday Alexander (wrist) is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Seton Hall, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

MRI comes back clean Alexander's MRI confirmed he's avoided any fractures or breaks in his right thumb, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports. He will be re-evaluated in the coming days.

Impact Alexander suffered a thumb injury late in Tuesday's contest against Villanova, and it appears the issue was serious enough to warrant a scan on the area to see if there was any more damage. Luckily, he's avoided the worst, which could keep him in play for the team's upcoming contests. That's especially true considering the Red Storm don't retake the floor until March 3.

Potential thumb injury Alexander was tending to a right thumb injury late in Tuesday's matchup against Villanova, Kevin Connelly of FanSided reports.

Impact The injury limited Alexander to just 27 minutes in this contest -- his lowest total since Jan. 16.

St. John's is next scheduled to take the court against Providence on March 3, barring the late addition of any games.
