Indiana basketball coach Mike Woodson said redshirt freshman Jakai Newton hasn’t fully recovered from a knee injury that sidelined him for the entire 2023-24 season. But the 6-foot-3 guard said Wednesday he’s “good to go.”
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana is taking things slow with Jakai Newton, but the redshirt freshman is confident he’ll play this season.
Indiana coach Mike Woodson discussed Newton’s injury during Indiana basketball’s media day on Wednesday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. “But he's just got to keep working through it, that's all I can tell him. And medical people are telling him the same thing, that you've just got to keep working until you can get back to where you can constantly stay on the floor and play basketball. That's kind of been his hang up right now.”
