Tucker DeVries - Won't play Thursday DeVries won't play in Thursday's exhibition game against Minnesota-Duluth, Alyssa Hertel of the Des Moines Register reports.
Impact DeVries -- who was named the MVC's Preseason Player of the Year -- will be sidelined along with four other teammates for Thursday's exhibition. Provided the issue isn't serious, he should be available to take the floor when the regular season tips off against IUPUI on Nov. 9.

Garrett Sturtz - Out for Thursday's exhibition game Sturtz will not suit up for Drake's exhibition game against Minnesota Duluth, Alyssa Hertel of USA Today Sports reports.
Impact The 5th-year senior has decided to forego the last exhibition game of his collegiate career. He put up the best numbers of his career last season averaging 11 points 7.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals per night. Expect him to be ready to go for Drake's season opener against IUPUI on Nov. 9.

D.J. Wilkins - Won't play Thursday evening Wilkins (knee) will not suit up for Thursday's exhibition game against Minnesota-Duluth, Alyssa Hertel of the Des Moines Register reports.
Impact Wilkins has been on the grind since tearing his ACL back in early March. It's unclear when exactly he could be expected back, but at one point, head coach Darian DeVries said he expected the 6-2 senior back in September or October. Whenever he returns, Wilkins will be an immediate impact player for the Bulldogs after averaging double-digit scoring in three of his four years with the program. His status ahead of the team's Nov. 9 opener will certainly be worth monitoring.

Shanquan Hemphill - Advancing to MVC semis Hemphill chipped in 19 points (6-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 39 minutes during Friday's 65-52 victory over Southern Illinois.
Impact Hemphill was a starter to open the season for Drake, but following a strange four-game absence midseason, he ended up coming off the bench for 11 consecutive games, despite consistently logging starter's minutes. That changed Friday when the stakes were raised, as Hemphill drew the start and logged 39 minutes, recording his first double-double since Dec. 16. He and the Bulldogs will advance to the MVC semifinal game Saturday against Missouri State, with the team needing to win out in order to secure a NCAA Tournament bid.
