Emmanuel Akot - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Returns from Achilles injury Akot (Achilles) had two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 73-51 victory over Fresno State.

Impact Akot was back from a three-game absence, but did not return to the starting lineup after starting the seven games leading up to his injury. The Boise State frontcourt played well in this contest, with Abu Kigab collecting a double-double (15 points, 11 rebounds) and Mladen Armus having a solid showing (nine points, eight rebounds) as well. Still, it seems probably the Arizona transfer will see his usage expand as soon as he's ready to take on more minutes.

Slated to return Akot (Achilles) is in line to retake the floor Wednesday versus Fresno State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Akot has skipped the last three games due to what was deemed a tender Achilles but appears to be on track for a return to action Wednesday. The junior forward is in the midst of his best statistical campaign to date, which is likely the result of his transfer from Arizona to a lesser level of competition in Boise. He will presumably retake a spot in the starting five when fully healthy.

Dealing with minor injury Head coach Leon Rice said after Friday's 80-69 win over Air Force that Akot is dealing with a tender Achilles which is the reason he missed the game, Jay Trust of KTVB.com reports.

Impact It doesn't sound as though Akot is dealing with anything major and the coaching staff wanted to hold him out as a precuation so that he doesn't aggravate the injury even further. The Broncos play again Monday so it'll be interesting to see whether Akot is able to suit up or not.

Set to start Head coach Leon Rice said Wednesday that he anticipates Akot holding down one of the starting spots for the Broncos in 2020-21, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Akot started 11 of the 18 games h appeared in during the 2018-19 season at Arizona but managed just 3.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest. Given his pedigree, there's a decent chance he will be featured more heavily in the Broncos' game plans over the next two seasons.
