Destin Whitaker - In uniform Saturday Whitaker (foot) was in uniform for Saturday's game against Utah State but didn't play, The Fresno Bee reports.

Impact Whitaker's presence in uniform is a sign of progress and could suggest he's getting close to retaking the floor. The sophomore guard hasn't played in over a month due to a foot injury but should provide some bench depth again once healthy. He averaged 18.5 minutes per game over the first eight contests of the season.

Orlando Robinson - Should play Tuesday Robinson (undisclosed) is expected to play Tuesday against Utah State, Gabe Camarillo of 247 Sports reports.

Impact It's unclear exactly why Robinson's status need to be clarified, as he's coming off two consecutive double-doubles that led to him earning Mountain West Player of the Week honors. He's currently firmly in contention for Mountain West Player of the Year, leading the conference with a career-best 19.8 ppg scoring average. The seven-footer is also drawing attention from NBA scouts, as he's averaging a three-pointer made per game at a success rate of 34 percent. Still, with the recent announcement, fantasy managers in nationwide formats may want to check back for confirmation of his status in advance of Tuesday's tip-off.
