Not part of starting lineup Hefner is not part of Texas A&M's starting lineup Saturday at Georgia.

Impact In place of Hefner is Manny Obaseki. The former did not impress during Texas A&M's last February game, when he logged eight minutes without any positive counting stats to boot.

Impact The senior led his team in scoring with 24 points during Friday's win over Houston Christian while he shot an impressive 50 percent from the field. Hefner has started in all 12 games this season and will expect to continue to be a primary scorer moving forward.

Logs 12 minutes off bench Hefner (undisclosed) recorded two points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 12 minutes during Sunday's 72-54 win over Oregon State.

Impact Hefner missed the last three matchups and was unable to practice recently, but he was available off the bench during Sunday's comfortable victory. He's now averaging 7.3 points in 15.3 minutes per game this season.

Unable to practice Hefner (undisclosed) is unable to practice, according to TexAgs.com.

Impact Hefner has been unable to practice despite already sitting out multiple Aggies games because of an undisclosed problem. Despite their next game being Sunday, his status is not promising as they prepare for Oregon State.

DNP vs. Boise State Hefner (undisclosed) did not play during the Aggies' 86-71 loss Saturday versus Boise State.

Impact According to Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle, Hefner has an injury that prevented him from participating in multiple games. He will try returning when the Aggies host Oregon State on Dec. 11.

DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Briefly sees court Hefner (elbow) supplied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in two minutes during Wednesday's 73-67 victory over Notre Dame.

Impact Hefner missed the first six games of the season while tending to an elbow injury, but was one of the last reserves off the bench in Wednesday's win that propelled the Aggies to a 6-1 start. While it appears the second-year forward is clear for game action, the bigger question is what type of role he'll have moving forward after averaging 11.9 mpg last season.

NOVEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yet to make season debut Hefner (elbow) did not play in Monday's game against Wisconsin.

Impact It's unclear how far away Hefner is from a return. Texas A&M will continue playing the Maui Invitational this week more than likely without the 6-6 sophomore.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play again Hefner (elbow) was sidelined again for Wednesday's clash with Houston Baptist.

Impact Hefner figures to lay claim to a decent-sized role in the rotation when healthy but hasn't suited up through the first four games. Next up is a power-five opponent in Wisconsin on Monday, so Hefner may be called to duty if he's healthy enough to give it a go.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses third straight Hefner (elbow) remained sidelined in Sunday's 86-65 victory over Texas A&M-CC.

Impact Hefner has now missed three consecutive games to begin the season, leaving much of the power forward duties to the likes of Henry Coleman, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Henderson. His next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against Houston Baptist.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play Friday Hefner (elbow) didn't appear in Friday's 81-80 win over Abilene Christian.

Impact Hefner has been limited by an elbow injury early in the season and was forced to miss a second consecutive game Friday. His next chance to make his season debut will be Sunday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

NOVEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

DNP in opener As expected, Hefner (elbow) did not take the court in Wednesday's season-opening victory over North Florida.

Impact Hefner has been limited significantly in practice by an elbow injury, so it wasn't too surprising to see him sit this one out. Barring further updates, he should also be considered questionable for Friday's tilt against Abilene Christian. In his absence Wednesday, Henry Coleman served as the starting power forward and chipped in a team-high 27 points. With performances like that, Hefner may be limited to a depth role once ultimately cleared.

NOVEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with elbow injury Hefner is dealing with an elbow injury, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact Hefner has been out the past week due to an injury in his elbow, per coach Buzz Williams. Given his extended absence from practice and the fact that he hasn't returned yet, it's a reasonably safe bet to assume Hefner won't be ready for the season opener Wednesday versus North Florida.

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench Hefner isn't starting Saturday's game against Mississippi.

Impact Hefner started the last three games for the Aggies, but he was held scoreless while averaging just 9.0 minutes per game. Jay Jay Chandler will take his place in the starting five.

Sees 23 minutes in return Hefner (ankle) had six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3PT) and a rebound in 23 minutes of action as he made his return from a four-game absence Saturday against Auburn.

Impact Hefner has been out the last few weeks with an ankle injury and was able to return Saturday and provide coach Buzz Williams with some decent minutes off the bench. The 6-6 freshman has averaged 4.6 points and one rebound in 16.2 minutes per game this season and will continue to act as a role player now that he's healthy again.

JANUARY 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Seen in boot Hefner was spotted with a boot on his right leg prior to Monday's game against Wofford, Travis L. Brown of TheEagle.com reports.

Impact After seeing double-digit minutes in each of the first four games for the Aggies and even getting one start, Hefner was held out last Tuesday due to what was described as an undisclosed issue at the time. We now know that the issue is related to his right leg and it may need some time to heal. Consider the freshman questionable at best for a Dec. 29 matchup against LSU.

DECEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Wofford Hefner will miss Monday's game at Wofford due to an ankle injury, TexAgs.com reports.

Impact Hefner did not suit up for Tuesday's game against Southeastern Louisiana, and he'll remain out for at least next Monday's game against Wofford, head coach Buzz Williams said Tuesday. Hefner will thus have two weeks to recover from an ankle injury, as the team doesn't play again until Dec. 29 at LSU. Hefner hasn't seen a large load of minutes through four games, though he earned a start Dec. 6 against UTRGV, playing 22 minutes during the contest. On the season, Hefner is averaging 4.3 points on 42.9 percent shooting along with 1.0 rebounds over 14.5 minutes. While he's out, Quenton Jackson and Emanuel Miller figure to see an uptick in minutes.
