Jailyn Ingram - Suffers torn ACL Ingram has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the 2020-21 season, according to Georgia's head coach Tom Crean's official Twitter page.
Impact Ingram picked up the injury Tuesday and was always expected to be a serious one, but this is clearly the worst possible scenario. The senior was averaging 10.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, and given this was his sixth year of eligibility, it probably puts an end to his college career.

Aaron Cook - Logs 37 minutes Cook produced nine points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 69-58 victory over Jacksonville.
Impact Cook recently missed a game due to an unspecified illness, but he was back as a key contributor and saw more minutes than any other Georgia player. He appears in the clear to serve as the primary point guard moving forward.

Jailyn Ingram - Will get MRI Head coach Tom Crean mentioned after Tuesday's win over Jacksonville that Ingram (knee) will have an MRI Wednesday, Anthony Dasher of Rivals.com reports.
Impact Ingram suffered a right knee injury just over five minutes into the second half of Tuesday's contest. He needed assistance being taken back to the locker room and would not return to the game. Crean was visibly emotional talking about Ingram's injury and said he's going to pray for some good news. More information on the situation should arise after results are revealed from the MRI.

Jailyn Ingram - Helped off floor Ingram went to the floor holding his right knee and had to be helped off the floor and into the locker room with 14:21 left in Tuesday's game against Jacksonville, Anthony Dasher o...
Impact Ingram's knee injury presents a pretty major development for the Bulldogs as the sixth-year transfer from Florida Atlantic had been a regular starter to begin the year while averaging 10.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 27.8 minutes per game. At the time of the injury, Ingram was leading his team with 12 points to go along with three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block. The hope is that he didn't suffer any sort of serious injury although it will remain unclear until further updates are provided.

Aaron Cook - Cleared to play Tuesday Georgia head coach Tom Crean said Cook (illness) will play in Tuesday's game against Jacksonville, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact The sixth-year senior transfer from Gonzaga wasn't available for Georgia's most recent game Dec. 1 against Memphis while he battled the illness, but it didn't stop the Bulldogs from pulling off its first win of the season versus a ranked team. Before sitting out against Memphis, Cook started in each of the Bulldogs' first seven games, averaging 11.3 points, 7.0 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.6 triples and 1.4 steals in 32.4 minutes per contest. He's not expected to face any limitations Tuesday in his return to the lineup.

Jabri Abdur-Rahim - Cashes pivotal three-pointer Abdur-Rahim supplied 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 82-79 win over Memphis.
Impact Abdur-Rahim was the leader among Georgia reserves in both scoring and minutes played, but his story here was his pivotal three-pointer with two minutes remaining that put Georgia on top. The Bulldogs were able to secure the game with free-throw shooting from there, but it was the Virginia transfer's big shot that finally got them over the hump. Abdur-Rahim started for the Bulldogs on opening night and has made two starts since then, but it's been a struggle offensively for much of the early season. Through six games, Abdur-Rahim was shooting just 21.9 percent from the field and 11.8 percent from distance. Over the last two games, however, he's a combined 10-for-15 from the field and 7-for-11 from distance, suggesting he may be in the midst of a turnaround.

Kario Oquendo - Leads scoring in upset Oquendo closed with 24 points (9-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 82-79 victory over Memphis.
Impact Oquendo arrived to Georgia from the JUCO ranks and is now one of four Bulldogs players averaging double figures, collecting 10.9 points per game. He was especially needed Wednesday with starting point guard Aaron Cook sidelined due to illness, which opened the door for the 6-4 guard to match his season high in attempted field goals. Little is expected of this Georgia team, though Oquendo could be a spot to potentially build on moving forward.

Aaron Cook - Sits out upset victory Cook missed his first game of the season in Georgia's 82-79 victory over a ranked Memphis team.
Impact Cook was held out of the starting five and reported to have been dealing with an illness, and it ultimately kept the Gonzaga transfer out of the game entirely. It's perhaps not a great sign that the Bulldogs were able to achieve their biggest accomplishment all season without their starting point guard active, but it also allowed them to given freshman Christian Wright some valuable reps. The next chance for Cook to take the court will be Saturday against George Mason.
