St. John's Red Storm will welcome back former captain Sadiku Ibine Ayo for Sunday's game against Iona, according to a report from SB Nation. The forward, who wears number 2, returns to the lineup as the team continues its season under head coach Rick Pitino.
Ayo previously featured for St. John's during the 2026 NCAA Tournament, where the Red Storm faced the Kansas Jayhawks in a second-round game on March 22, 2026, at Viejas Arena in San Diego. Pitino was seen consulting with Ayo during the first half of that contest.
The upcoming matchup against Iona marks Ayo's return to game action for the Red Storm program.
