Sophomore guard Markus Howard has been diagnosed with a right hip contusion and is doubtful for Marquette’s contest against St. John’s Wednesday, per a tweet from the team account.
The BIG EAST’s second-leading scorer was also seen on campus Monday morning using crutches and not putting any weight on his right leg.
He suffered the injury Saturday night at Creighton late in the first half. As he went up for a layup, he took a hit mid-air from Creighton forward Toby Hegner and fell hard on the floor. He could not get up under his own power and had to be carried to the locker room by team officials.
