Fabian White - Status uncertain for SundayHouston head coach Kelvin Sampson said after Saturday's 86-66 win over Tulane that White was dealing with back tightness, leaving the big man's status unclear for Sunday's AAC tour...

ImpactWhite logged just three minutes prior to his exit from Saturday's game and was unable to return. With the Cougars locked into a high seed for next week's NCAA tournament, the team could take a cautious approach with White, even if his injury isn't considered a major one. Regardless, resolution on his status should come closer to Sunday's 3:15 p.m. ET tipoff.

Fabian White - Doesn't retake floor SaturdayWhite (back) was unable to return to the floor during Saturday's game versus Tulane.

ImpactWhite finished the day with just three minutes and attempted only one shot. That being said, the Cougars controlled the game for much of the way, so it's possible the coaching staff elected to hold him out as a precaution. In any event, the win means White has one more chance to suit up before the NCAA Tournament next week in Sunday's AAC Tournament championship game.

Fabian White - Questionable to returnWhite (back) is considered questionable to return to Saturday's AAC Semifinal versus Tulane, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactWhite was getting his back worked on by a trainer and made a trip to the locker room and was late to come out for the second half. His lone contribution to the box score prior to his departure was a missed shot attempt and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to add to it.
