Not starting Wednesday Grill is not listed in Iowa State's starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against TCU, Nick Osen of 247Sports reports.

Impact Grill has started in all 22 games which he has been active for this season, and it is unclear why the senior isn't starting. The 6-foot-3 guard, who has averaged 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 steals on 32.7 minutes per game, is likely to remain heavily involved of the bench.

Posts double-double in loss Grill supplied 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 10 rebounds over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 76-71 loss to West Virginia.

Impact Grill didn't log his best shooting performance of the season, though he racked up double-digit boards for just the second time this season. As a result, the 6-foot-3 shooting guard notched his first double-double of the 2022-23 campaign. Grill has still also averaged 15.3 points while converting 46.9 percent of his 10.7 field-goal attempts per game over the last three outings. 8.7 of these shots have come from beyond the three-point line, making Grill a high-upside yet high-variance fantasy option.

Dead eye from three in return Grill totaled 24 points (8-12 FG, 8-12 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 80-77 OT loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Grill has been dealing with a back issue since Jan. 21 that limited him to five total points in back-to-back contests before sitting out Saturday's loss to Missouri. However, this injury did not appear to affect the senior Monday, as he logged season highs in both three-pointers made and attempted. Grill's effort wasn't enough to prevent Iowa State from blowing its 23-point lead versus Texas Tech, but his ability to play 37 minutes is an encouraging sign for his effectiveness moving forward. Grill has now hit 40.2 percent of his 6.2 attempts from beyond the arc per game this season.

Good to go Monday Grill (back) is in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against Texas Tech, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Grill has recently dealt with a back issue that kept him sidelined during Saturday's loss to Missouri. The 6-foot-3 senior was initially tabbed as a true game-time decision for Monday's tilt, so it appears his back is doing well enough for him to reprise a starting role versus the Red Raiders. Grill has averaged 10.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.5 steals across 31.9 minutes per game this season.

He was unable to practice Thursday due to back stiffness, per the Randy Peterson of Des Moines Register, which may explain his recent downturn. The senior looks set to rest up Saturday, making his next opportunity to return Monday at Texas Tech.

Impact Grill has missed just one game this season due to an illness Dec. 11 versus McNeese State, so it appears this back issue arose during his season-low 17 minutes of action versus the Cowboys. The senior shooting guard has averaged 10.9 points and 4.4 rebounds over 16 starts coming into Saturday, and he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against Kansas State until further information is revealed from this impending evaluation.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Posts efficient outing in win Grill provided 17 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 78-67 win over Texas.

Impact Grill logged one of his better shooting performances of Big 12 play. The 6-foot-3 guard continued his role as the Cyclones' top three-point specialist, as he's now hit a career-high 38 percent of his 6.3 attempts per game from beyond the arc. This has also helped sustain Grill's career-high 10.9 points per game. However, he's still been rather hit or miss during conference play, as he went 1-of-6 and 1-of-5 from beyond the arc against Kansas and TCU, respectively. Grill does average 4.4 rebounds per game, though his overall value should be considered volatile due to his up-and-down shooting.
