Report: St. John's star Figueroa enters transfer portal

St. John's guard LJ Figueroa has entered the transfer portal, a source told 247Sports' Evan Daniels.

The 6-foot-6 junior declared for the NBA draft in March but can return to college since he didn't hire an agent.

Figueroa averaged a team-high 14.5 points and a Big East-leading 1.9 steals per contest. He drilled 72 triples last season, seventh-most in the conference.

He'll sit out the 2020-21 campaign unless he obtains a waiver from the NCAA.
