CHICAGO \u2014 Another key St. John\u2019s player is now battling an injury.<\/p>\n
Just when Deivon Smith recovered from the bruised right shoulder that bothered him for a month, leading scorer RJ Luis suffered a groin injury.<\/p>\n
The Big East Player of the Year candidate missed his first game of the year in Wednesday night\u2019s 82-58 blasting of DePaul at Wintrust Arena.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would say RJ is probably going to miss Connecticut with a pulled groin,\u201d coach Rick Pitino said of Sunday\u2019s game at the Garden. \u201cThis is new for RJ. But RJ is a baller, he wants to play. He has never had a pulled groin before. They can be difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis suffered the injury a few days ago. Pitino doesn\u2019t expect to practice ahead of Sunday, but stopped short of ruling Luis out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d be guessing. I haven\u2019t been right yet,\u201d he joked. \u201cDeivon [Smith] I thought would be out two to three weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sadiku Ibine Ayo is always the first man off the bench to cheer on his teammates. Wednesday night was a role reversal. <\/p>\n
The junior reserve, starting in place of Luis, got a chance to play big minutes, and he took advantage, scoring a career-high 15 points and adding five rebounds and two assists. <\/p>\n

He entered the night with 20 points on the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s always happy for us, so today was our turn to be happy for him,\u201d close friend Kadary Richmond said. \u201cHe stays prepared, he\u2019s always working, he never complains. I\u2019m happy to see him have a game like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Said Ibine Ayo: \u201cIt\u2019s amazing. Coach [Pitino] is always hard on me all the time. I think it pays off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
