OMAHA, Neb. — Creighton starting guard Pop Isaacs was held out of the 15th-ranked Bluejays’ opener against UT-Rio Grande Valley with an undisclosed injury Wednesday night.
Isaacs, a transfer from Texas Tech, was on the court in street clothes during pregame warmups. He had surgery last spring to repair a hip injury. Mason Miller took Isaacs’ spot in the lineup.
Isaacs scored a team-high 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting and had six assists in Creighton’s 93-87 win over No. 14 Purdue in a charity exhibition in Omaha on Oct. 26.
Isaacs started all 34 games for Texas Tech last season and was the Big 12’s sixth-leading scorer with 15.8 points per game.
