Kyler Edwards - Dealing with sprained ankle Edwards suffered a sprained ankle and is in a walking boot according to coach Kelvin Sampson, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Edwards was helped off the court in last week's game against Texas State. He received an MRI which diagnosed the sprained ankle. Coach Sampson did not provide a timetable for Edwards' return. The team's next game will be Dec. 28 against Cincinnati, where it will also be short-handed a pair of guards in Marcus Sasser (foot) and Tramon Mark (shoulder). Jamal Shead and Ramon Walker will be called upon to step up as a result.

Taze Moore - Should return Tuesday Moore (illness) is expected to return Tuesday against Cincinnati, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Moore last took the court Dec. 14 against Lafayette, when he started the contest, saw a season-high minutes total and posted his first double-double of the season. With two weeks on the sidelines after that, it's expected that the senior will have had enough time to recover. The Cougars need his contributions now more than ever, as Marcus Sasser (foot) and Tramon Mark (shoulder) both suffered recent, season-ending surgeries, and Kyler Edwards is a bit banged up with an ankle injury. While Moore doesn't exactly play the backcourt role of that aforementioned trio and resides more at the wing/frontcourt, his experience and presumed health should be enough to garner heavy minutes totals moving forward.

Impact Sasser is Houston's second perimeter starter lost for the season. Tramon Mark (shoulder) was the first. Sasser leads the Cougars in scoring with 17.7 points per game. In his absence, Houston will have to rely on Jamal Shead, Ryan Elvin and Ramon Walker in their backcourt.

J'wan Roberts - Grabs five rebounds in win Roberts (back) added two options (2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals during Wednesday's wino over Texas State.

Impact The sophomore was absent at practice this past Monday due to a back injury, but it didn't seem to affect Roberts much. His five rebounds were the most he has grabbed since hauling in 13 against Alabama on Dec. 11.

Kyler Edwards - Helped off with injury Edwards was helped off the court Wednesday against Texas State with an apparent left ankle injury, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Edwards immediately grabbed near his ankle after landing on an opposing player's foot, and he limped off the court with assistance. He had 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal prior to suffering the injury during the second half. The specifics of the issue remain unclear, but Edwards should be considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Cincinnati until his status is updated.

J'wan Roberts - Fails to practice Monday Roberts (back) did not practice on Monday according to coach Kelvin Sampson, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Roberts went down in last Saturday's game hard on his lower back and was seen grabbing his right hip area. It's unclear if he will be healthy enough to suit up on Wednesday against Texas State.

Tramon Mark - Set to miss rest of season Mark underwent shoulder surgery and will miss the rest of the season, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Mark has missed the last two games and the team decided opting for surgery was the best option in the long run for the sophomore. It will be a big blow to the Cougars chances this season, as Mark was their most productive option off the bench averaging 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per contest.

Tramon Mark - Sidelined Wednesday Mark (shoulder) will not play Wednesday against Texas State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact This was expected after it was announced Tuesday that Mark would be out indefinitely due to his shoulder injury. Houston has two games in the next week, and it's unlikely that he'll be able to return during that stretch.

Tramon Mark - Sidelined indefinitely Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson said Tuesday that Mark (shoulder) will be out indefinitely, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Mark has already missed the Houston's last two games with the shoulder injury, and he looks like he'll be poised to miss several additional contests to follow. Sampson said that while surgery is not on the table for Mark at this stage, a procedure could be necessary if the 6-foot-5 wing is unable to make a full recovery through rest and rehab. Mark has been a key piece in the Cougars rotation in 2021-22, averaging 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 20.3 minutes per game over seven outings.

Taze Moore - Out again Wednesday Moore (illness) will sit out Wednesday's game against Texas State, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Moore didn't travel for Saturday's game against TCU due to illness and is slated to miss at least one more contest before being considered a candidate to retake the floor for the Cougars. The senior's absence Saturday resulted in added playing time for Ramon Walker and Josh Carlton, which could be the case again Wednesday.

Taze Moore - Misses Saturday's game with illness Moore (illness) did not travel for Saturday's game against TCU, James Mueller of the Daily Cougar reports.

Josh Carlton - Remains in starting five Carlton is starting Saturday's game against Oklahoma State.

Impact Carlton made his first start of the season Tuesday and totaled 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and an assist in 31 minutes during the win over Louisiana-Lafayette. Reggie Chaney should be available Saturday but will come off the bench.

DECEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reggie Chaney - Will play Saturday Chaney (hand) will be available for Saturday's game against Oklahoma State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Chaney missed last game with a hand injury, which is something he's been dealing with since mid-November. The 6-8 senior has started all 10 games when healthy, averaging 4.4 points and 2.6 rebound in 14 minutes per contest. He'll figure to re-enter the starting five while splitting time on the floor with J'Wan Roberts.

Marcus Sasser - Ready to roll Saturday Sasser (toe) will take part in Saturday's game against Oklahoma State,Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Sasser missed the team's previous contest against Louisiana because of turf toe, but it's apparently subsided enough to allow him to rejoin the action Saturday. He figures to retake his spot in the starting five along with Reggie Chaney (hand) likely sending Josh Carlton and Taze Moore back to bench roles.
