Deng Gak - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Starting on Senior Day Gak will start Saturday against Virginia Tech.

Impact It's Senior Day in Coral Gables and Gak will get his first start since January 5. In three starts this season, Gak has averaged 2.3 points and 1.7 rebounds over 14.3 minutes. Even with the starting role, Gak's actual workload may not change much against the Hokies.

Starting Wednesday Gak is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against North Carolina State.

Impact With Sam Waardenburg unavailable as a result of COVID-19 protocols, Gak is set to make his first start of the season. The junior is averaging just 3.9 minutes per game this season, but he could see an expanded role as long as Waardenburg is sidelined.

Logs 11 minutes in return Gak (undisclosed) played 11 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over Louisville. He finished with two points (1-1 FG) and a block.

Impact Gak had missed the Jan. 12 contest against Boston College, but he returned Saturday -- albeit he held a minimal role once again. He is averaging just 1.8 points per game this season, so it's safe to say his absence didn't affect many fantasy rosters.

Status unclear for Saturday Gak missed Miami's game earlier this week with knee soreness and it's unclear if he'll be able to play in Saturday's game against Louisville, Christopher Stock of 247sports.com rep...

Impact Head coach Jim Larranaga said Friday that Gak is going to get his knees treated next week and hopefully they will help him get as close to 100 percent as possible. The 6-11 junior missed most of last season with a right knee injury and it's possible he may be feeling some of the lingering effects from the issue. If he's unable to go, Nysier Brooks will get a heavy load of minutes with most of the Hurricanes' big men being unavailable to play.

Unavailable on Tuesday Gak was unavailable in Tuesday's loss to Boston College due to undisclosed reasons, Christopher Stock of 247 Sports reports.

Impact Gak had appeared in each of the last nine games for the Hurricanes, tallying a combined 30 minutes in his last two. He ended up joining Chris Lykes (ankle) and Kameron McGusty (hamstring) on the injured list Tuesday, which ultimately resulted in a 22-point loss to the 3-9 Eagles. Consider Gak questionable for his regular forward depth role in advance of Saturday's matchup against Louisville.

Scores two in season debut Gak recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four rebounds over 10 minutes in Friday's 82-60 win over Stetson.

Impact Gak didn't appear in Sunday's season opener after missing most of last year with a knee injury. However, he returned to the court and played 10 minutes off the bench in his season debut. Although he likely won't play a major role for the Hurricanes this season, Gak should be available now that he's fully healthy.
