Seton Hall freshman guard Isaiah Whitehead is making “good progress” on his stress fracture following a morning meeting with the doctor and could return Saturday for the Xavier game, head coach Kevin Willard told SNY.tv.
“We will see how he does today [Thursday] and [Friday] and then make that decision,” Willard said by text.
