AUSTIN NUNEZ NEWS

Out once again Nunez (lower leg) is out for Wednesday's game against Cal-Poly, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Nunez is dealing with Achilles and ankle soreness, and it seems the Sun Devils are being extremely cautious with his recovery to have him at full strength once he's ready to return. Nunez has yet to play more than 15 minutes off the bench in any game this season, so his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions.
