Tanor Ngom - Returns to the court Ngom (knee) is back on the court after being helped off the floor earlier in the game, Curt Weiler of the Tallahassee Democrat reports.
Impact Ngom started the last two games and has been playing well so it was scary to see him being helped off the court, so his return to the court so soon is a welcome surprise. His return suggests that the knee issue isn't as bad as initially believed.

Tanor Ngom - Helped off floor Ngom was helped off the floor during Saturday's game against Wake Forest due to an apparent knee injury, Rivals.com reports.
Impact Ngom has moved into the starting unit over the past two games due to multiple injuries in the frontcourt. The senior big man has now suffered an injury of his own, appearing to bang knees with another player, which would leave an already tattered Florida State rotation in even more trouble. He should be considered questionable to return at this juncture, having picked up a foul while posting no other stats in his brief action.

Matthew Cleveland - Draws second start in three games Cleveland is in the starting lineup Saturday against Wake Forest.
Impact The freshman draws back into the starting five after coming off the bench against Clemson on Wednesday. Cleveland has made one other start this season, against Virginia Tech, when he scored 10 points and pulled down five rebounds over 33 minutes.

Anthony Polite - Out indefinitely Polite will miss an "undetermined" number of games due to a wrist injury, Rivals.com reports.
Impact Polite can presumably be ruled out for Saturday's contest against Wake Forest as a result and seems likely to miss multiple contests. The senior is averaging 9.7 points and 5.5 boards on the year, in addition to his 1.5 steals per contest, so his production won't be easy for the Seminoles to replace, especially with malik Osborne done for the season and Naheem McLeod (hand) sidelined for six weeks.

Impact Oer Veazey, Mills looks much better than he did during the second half o the Georgia Tech game, which preceded his three minutes of action against Virginia Tech last time out.
