Plays through lower body injury Pinzon (lower body) posted six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Saturday's 81-55 win over Maine.

Impact Pinzon didn't start in his return from injury, and played the fewest minutes he has all season, but he still managed to knock down two triples in Bryant's win over Maine. The guard should be good to go moving forward, but it remains to be seen when he'll return to the starting five.

Warming up, not among starters Pinzon (lower body) is warming up before Saturday's game versus Maine but isn't in the starting lineup, Nick Coit of ABC 6 reports.

Impact Pinzon was reported to be nearing a return to action, so his presence on the court for warmups isn't a huge surprise. Given that he's been sidelined nearly a month, it's possible Pinzon will return off the bench Saturday with limited minutes, though he also may not quite be ready to return.

Nearing return Pinzon (lower body) is getting closer to a return, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Pinzon reportedly took part in practice for Bryant, at least partially, on Friday. However, it's still unclear if he'll be able to make his return against Maine on Saturday. The guard averages 18.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

Hits transfer portal Pinzon entered the transfer portal Wednesday, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact After having spent two years at St. John's, Pinzon is slated to seek out further opportunities elsewhere to continue his collegiate career. The 6-foot-6 guard missed all of the Red Storm's final six contests to close out the 2022-23 campaign due to a suspension for not meeting team standards, after he had averaged 6.1 points per game across 19 appearances earlier in the year.

Out against Butler Pinzon (suspension) will sit out when St. John's and Butler play each other Wednesday, according to Zach Braziller of the New York Post.

Impact Pinzon will sit out St. John's' first-round game of the 2023 Big East Tournament. If the Red Storm defeat Butler, his next opportunity to return will be against on Marquette on Thursday. But if they lose, Pinzon would have to wait until March Madness or next season, the latter being far more likely.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 17 minutes Pinzon registered seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 17 minutes during Saturday's 96-71 loss to Xavier.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play against Xavier Pinzon (ankle) is available for Saturday's game versus Xavier, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
