Makes season debut Kuac (undisclosed) logged zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in six minutes during Saturday's 83-66 loss to North Carolina State.

Impact Kuac missed the first 12 games of the season for Detroit due to an unspecified issue, but it appears the fifth-year senior is in the clear and ready to provide frontcourt depth for a winless Titans team.

Added to transfer portal Kuac (leg) was added to the NCAA's transfer portal Monday, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact Kuac averaged 12.2 minutes across 47 games (six started) of 121 that New Mexico played between November 2019 and March 2023. Wanting more opportunities as a graduate student, he will try to enroll elsewhere.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season Kuac (leg) is out for the remainder of New Mexico's 2022-23 season.

Impact Kuac's next opportunity to return is during late-2023. Unfortunately for the Lobos junior, he participated in only one game across their ongoing season.

DNP at San Francisco Kuac (leg) did not play during New Mexico's 67-64 win Monday at San Francisco.

Impact Kuac sat out four games New Mexico played in between Nov. 30 and Dec. 12. He will try to return when the NM Lobos host Iona next Sunday.

DNP vs. Texas-San Antonio Kuac (leg) did not play during the Lobos' win Saturday versus Texas-San Antonio.

Makes season debut Kuac (lower leg) returned to the floor in Sunday's 98-74 win over Northern Colorado, Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Impact Kuac appeared for the first time since Jan. 8 after sustaining a lower leg injury. The 6-foot-7 guard has appeared in just six games last season, averaging 17.7 minutes per game off the bench. Kuac recorded one offensive rebound in the big win.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays in exhibition Kuac (lower leg) had three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two turnovers across five minutes in Saturday's 85-53 exhibition victory over CSU Pueblo.

Impact Kuac had been participating in practices as recently as this week as he continues to recover from season-ending leg surgery that took place last January. His presence in a low-stakes exhibition contest, even if in a limited capacity, suggests the injury shouldn't be an issue in advance of the Nov. 7 opener against Southern Utah. Kuac had been seeing 15-20 minutes off the game last season as a reserve and will ultimately look to regain that level of contribution.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in practice Kuac (lower leg) is participating in New Mexico's team practices, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

Impact Currently, Kuac is incorporating contact into his regimen but continues training without 100 percent clearance from any doctors. He will try being available before New Mexico's Nov. 7 game against Southern Utah. Though there is a good chance Kuac sits out that matchup, fantasy managers should not be surprised if he returns soon.

Suffers season-ending injury New Mexico announced that Kuac will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery Sunday to address multiple fractures in his left lower leg, Steve Kirkland of the Lobo...

Impact Kuac suffered the season-ending injury in the second half of Saturday's 90-87 loss to Utah State. The 6-foot-7 junior ends the campaign with averages of 4.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 17.7 minutes in six appearances.

Logs 18 minutes Sunday Kuac (lower body) had 0 points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 18 minutes during Sunday's 90-72 loss to SMU.

Impact Kuac returned after missing the last three games due to a lower body injury. The 6-7 junior played in just his third game this season Sunday. He missed the first six games of the year because of a knee injury. Kuac will now look to put the injuries behind him and help contribute as a role player moving forward.

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play Sunday Kuac (lower body) didn't appear in Sunday's loss to UTEP.

Impact Kuac sustained a lower-body injury at the end of November and has now been sidelined for each of the last three games. His next chance to play will be Dec. 19 against SMU.

Sits out again Thursday Kuac (lower-body) did not take the court during Thursday's 87-67 win over Denver.

Impact The junior guard missed his second straight appearance due to a lower-body injury and has now only played in two of New Mexico's 10 games. Kuac's next chance to return to the court and get his season back on the right track comes Sunday against UTEP.

DECEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sits with injury Kuac did not take the court Monday against New Mexico State due to what was described as a "lower-body injury," Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Impact Kuac missed time early in the season with a knee injury, but it's unclear if the same issue is holding him out here. He did contribute well as a reserve in a Nov. 30 contest, posting six points, three rebounds and two blocks, but must have suffered the injury over the past week. It's unclear if he'll be ready for Thursday's matchup against Denver.

DECEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Available Thursday Kuac (knee) is available for Thursday's game against UAB, Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Impact Kuac missed the start of the season due to a knee injury but was medically cleared last weekend. The junior will make his season debut Thursday after he averaged 3.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game last year.

NOVEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out again Kuac (knee) didn't appear in Saturday's game against Montana State.

Impact Given Kuac's reported absence from warmups prior to the game, it's not a big surprise he didn't wind up seeing action. On a positive note, he has been medically cleared to play, so Kuac's return could be just around the corner.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not seen in warmups Kuac is not spotted in warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Montana State, according to Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal.

Impact Kuac has been cleared to play, so his absence of warmups is a bit surprising, to say the least. If he ends up being a scratch for this game, then his next chance to play would be next Thursday at UAB.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to return Kuac (knee) has been cleared to return to the floor by the team doctors ahead of Saturday's matchup against Montana State, Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Impact Kuac has been sidelined to begin the year with an apparent knee injury but will be available if needed moving forward. The 6-7 junior averaged 3.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game a season ago and figures to remain in a similar role in his return.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Kuac (knee) won't play in Monday's game against Grambling, Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Impact Kuac still isn't ready to take the floor due to a lingering knee injury. His next chance at making his season debut looms Saturday against Montana State.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Kuac will miss Saturday's game against Colorado with a knee injury, Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Impact Kuac did travel with the team, so it's possible he won't miss too much more time. This is his second straight absence, as he also sat Wednesday against Florida Atlantic.

NOVEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower body injury Kuac (lower body) did not play in Wednesday's game against Florida Atlantic, Isabel Gonzalez of the Lair New Mexico reports.

Impact It's unclear how much time Kuac will miss going forward. The junior is a versatile player that can play a lot of different positions and New Mexico will hope to have him back against Colorado on Saturday.
