Report: James Blackmon has withdrawn from NBA Draft, will return to Indiana for junior season

It'll be Blackmon's backcourt in 2016-17 at Indiana -- and, yes, that's good news for IU fans.

One down, one to go.

With just hours until the withdrawal deadline, James Blackmon has withdrawn from the NBA Draft, according to Peegs.com's Jeff Rabjohns.

Blackmon's still recovering from a season-ending knee injury -- and it would have been more of a surprise for the junior to stay in the Draft than return to Indiana.
