Sophomore guard James Blackmon Jr., who missed Indiana’s Big Ten opener on Wednesday at Rutgers, is “continuing to be evaluated” according to a release this afternoon from IU athletics.

Blackmon Jr., currently second on IU’s team in scoring at 15.3 points per game, will travel to Lincoln for Saturday’s game with Nebraska at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The Marion product suffered a non-contact injury to his right knee in Monday’s practice. The Hoosiers and Cornhuskers will tip-off Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. ET on BTN.
