Trevin Knell - Likely out for season Knell (shoulder) is "unlikely" to return in the 2022-23 season, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.
Impact Knell was a significant rotation player in the last two seasons for BYU, providing depth on the wing and serving as a reliable three-point shooter. Unfortunately, he has yet to appear this season for the Cougars and will presumably now look ahead to his two seasons of remaining eligibility.

Fousseyni Traore - Season-high rebounding total Traore closed Thursday's 89-61 victory over Loyola Marymount with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes.
Impact Traore sustained a minor injury in practice this week, but it didn't' stop him from starting and logging his first double-double since Dec. 10. The sophomore should continue to play in integral role in the BYU frontcourt as the Cougars look to make a late-season run.
FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Waterman - Returns Thursday Waterman contributed five points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Thursday's 89-61 win over Loyola Marymount.
Impact Not only did Waterman return from a one-game suspension, but he made his first appearance in the starting lineup since Jan. 5. Still, he's likely not a fantasy factor in formats that use the WCC, as the junior forward has yet to reach double-figure scoring in 2023.
FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Atiki Ally Atiki - Back from suspension Atiki totaled eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Thursday's 89-61 victory over Loyola Marymount.
Impact Atiki sat out last Saturday due to a one-game suspension but was back in action Thursday in his regular role as the BYU backup center. The sophomore was held scoreless in the two games prior to suspension, but he got in the box score with eight points and tied for his most field goal attempts through seven games in 2023.
FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaxson Robinson - Returns Thursday Robinson ended Thursday's 89-61 victory over Loyola Marymount with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes.
Impact Robinson returned from a one-game suspension and came off the bench for the first time this season. He still posted his second-highest scoring total since the calendar turned to 2023, and based on his minutes total, Robinson appears to be back in good graces and should see his regular workload at small forward as the Cougar march onward in WCC play.

Jaxson Robinson - Available but not starting Robinson (suspension) will be available Thursday after serving a one-game suspension last Saturday versus St. Mary's but is not in the starting lineup, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletic...
Impact Robinson will begin Thursday's game off the bench for the first time all year, as Noah Waterman will enter the starting lineup in his place. Head coach Mark Pope appears to be opting to go with a starting five that presents a bit more size than usual. Despite his move to the bench, Robinson should still figure to play a large role. The 6-7 sophomore is averaging 8.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 28.5 minutes per game this season.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Atiki Ally Atiki - Available Thursday Atiki (suspension) will be available to play Thursday versus Loyola Marymount after serving a one-game suspension last Saturday versus St. Mary's, Jake Hatch of 97.5 The KSL Sports...
Impact Atiki had to serve a one-game suspension for an unknown reason but will be back in the fold Thursday evening. The 6-10 sophomore has played a steady role off the bench in the frontcourt, averaging four points, 3.8 rebounds and a block in 14.4 minutes per game this season.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Richie Saunders - Back to bench Thursday Saunders is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Loyola Marymount, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.
Impact Saunders made a spot start last Saturday against St. Mary's with the Cougars missing a couple of key players due to suspensions. The 6-5 freshman went scoreless in the start but has seen his role increase over the past four games, averaging 5.3 points and 1.5 rebounds over 18.5 minutes per contest during that span. He should still play a key role off the bench, as the Cougars look to end a three-game losing streak.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Waterman - Starting Thursday Waterman will return from a one-game suspension and is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup against Loyola Marymount, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.
Impact Waterman was unavailable last Saturday against St. Mary's while serving a suspension. He'll get the start in his return to action Thursday, which will be his first appearance in the first five since Jan. 5. The 6-11 junior is shooting just 25 percent from the floor over his last eight games and will look to turn things around and help the Cougars end a three-game losing skid.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fousseyni Traore - Will start Thursday Traore (undisclosed) will remain in Thursday's starting lineup versus Loyola-Marymount, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.
Impact Traore picked up an apparent minor issue in Monday's practice, which left his status for Thursday's contest up in the air. The 6-6 sophomore will not be forced to miss any time due to the injury and will look to help the Cougars end a three-game losing skid. Traore has stepped up in his second year, averaging 12.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while shooting an efficient 58.7 percent from the floor.
