After the Big East announced the availability report for the Marquette men’s basketball game against No. 4 UConn on Sunday morning, three hours before tipoff, the Marquette team’s official Twitter account provided some additional context. Sean Jones will miss Sunday’s game with a foot injury.
Kudos to whoever worked the keyboard for this tweet because they didn’t seem to acknowledge that one part of Sean Jones’ foot was fighting with another part of his foot.

This will be the seventh game Jones, a redshirt junior linebacker, has missed this season. After starting Marquette’s first three games of the year, he missed the next six games with a shoulder issue. That injury was enough for Jones to put his arm in a sling to heal, and I’m willing to bet that, less than two months later, he’s still not 100 percent.
This is just speculation, but if his foot injury is serious enough to keep him out of Sunday afternoon’s game, then we have to wonder when we next see Jones play for Marquette. The team hasn’t said he’s done for the year, so we can guess it’s temporary. Many basketball players across the country are playing right now, but Jones is missing. I have to assume this means we won’t see him at least Wednesday night against Xavier at Feather Forum.
Jones averaged 6.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and a team-high 3.9 assists per game this season. He shot only 32% from three-point range and 30% from two-point range. Since returning from a shoulder injury, Jones has averaged 6.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 40% from three-point range…but only 2-for-11 (18%).
