Creighton Guard Pop Isaacs to Miss Season Following Hip Surgery

The standout player, averaging 16.3 points per game, will undergo a second hip surgery, leaving Creighton short-handed in the backcourt.

Pop Isaacs, Creighton's leading guard, will miss the remainder of the season due to a lingering hip injury requiring surgery.
Isaacs previously underwent hip surgery last spring but continued to experience pain, prompting the decision for another procedure.
In his first season with Creighton after transferring from Texas Tech, Isaacs averaged 16.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists over eight games.
Isaacs delivered a standout performance against No. 1 Kansas earlier this week, scoring 27 points with six three-pointers in a major upset.
Creighton faces significant roster challenges with Isaacs' absence, adding to earlier injuries to key players Steven Ashworth and Ryan Kalkbrenner.
