It’s no secret Indiana’s point guard play during the 2023-24 season was underwhelming.
The Hoosiers received a major boost in April of 2023 when news broke that Xavier Johnson had been granted an additional season of eligibility via a medical hardship waiver.
Johnson, who missed 21 games during the 2022-23 season due to a broken foot he suffered in the Kansas game, was expected to be a big part of Mike Woodson’s third team in Bloomington.
However, Johnson was hit again by injuries during his third and final season of eligibility at Indiana. The Woodbridge, Virginia native missed 13 games and when he was in the lineup, his numbers were down across the board.
