St. John’s basketball guard David Caraher has taken a leave of absence from the program.

Moments prior to St. John’s basketball matchup against Xavier, the team announced that redshirt junior guard David Caraher has taken a leave of absence from the program.

Caraher returned home to Chapel Hill, North Carolina for the team’s holiday break and made the decision to remain in the Tar Heel state as the team returned to Queens.

The reasoning behind the leave of absence is COVID-19 related and David Caraher will remain with his family.
