Emmanuel Dowuona - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Back in action Dowuona (chest) started and had four points (2-5 FG), three rebounds and a block across 12 minutes in a 76-55 exhibition victory over Trevecca Nazarene on Oct. 27.

Impact Dowuona saw limited action in nine games as a freshman at Purdue in 2019-20 but missed the entirety of last season due to an unspecified medical condition. He elected to transfer to Tennessee State over the offseason and early indications are that he's locked down the starting center job. He started this contest over fellow 6-10 junior David Acosta, but both will likely see run during the regular season.

Still doesn't appear ready to play Dowuona (chest) did not see any action in Saturday's Crosstown Classic game against Notre Dame.

Impact Dowuona began practicing for the first time to begin this week and was also able to go through warmups before Wednesday's game against Ohio State but did not play. There were no pregame reports before Saturday's contest that indicated whether he'd been cleared to play or not so it's safe to say that he'll remain questionable heading into Tuesday's upcoming matchup with the No. 3 Hawkeyes.

Warming up with team Dowuona (chest) is warming up ahead of Wednesday's game against Ohio State, Mike Carmin of the Lafayette Journal & Courier reports.

Impact Dowuona starting practicing with the team Monday after being hampered by a chest injury through much of camp. It's looking like he might be available for the first time this season on Wednesday, although he's unlikely to make a significant fantasy impact.

Doesn't appear in opener Dowuona (chest) did not take the court Wednesday against Liberty.

Impact Given Dowuona's limited practice time due to a medical condition, it's not too surprising to see the reserve big man rested early. His absence allowed 7-foot-4 freshman Zach Edey to step in for a meaningful role, producing 19 points and five rebounds in just 16 minutes on the court.

No practice yet Dowuona (chest) has yet to return to practice, Mike Carmin of the Lafayette Journal & Courier reports.

Impact It's been almost a month without any significant developments, so it's safe to put Dowuona's status in doubt for the Nov. 25 opener against Liberty. This will leave Purdue quite thin at the center position, and potentially force coach Matt Painter to consider more small ball. Trevion Williams will of course be counted on for all the minutes he can handle, with freshman Zach Edey the only other true center on the roster heading into the year.

Dealing with breathing issues Dowuona isn't participating in practice due to breathing problems, Mike Carmin of the Journal & Courier reports.

Impact Dowuona could be in line for some action off the bench this season after appearing in just nine contests (3.3 minutes per game) last year. He still has a good chunk of time leading up to the season to get healthy, but it's a situation to monitor as the season draws closer.
