St. John’s basketball takes a major hit as Donnie Freeman, their prized transfer from Syracuse and projected starting power forward, goes down with a torn Achilles during offseason workouts — sidelining him for the entire 2026-27 season. The injury, which came during non-contact drills, leaves a gaping hole in their frontcourt, especially after Freeman averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds while earning All-ACC honors. With the team aiming for another Big East title, they’re turning to newcomers like Dorđije Jovanović — a sharp-shooting G League vet — and Babacar Sane to fill the void. Coach Rick Pitino remains optimistic, saying Freeman will return stronger. The challenge now? Making it work with less than a season to go.
