Sencire Harris - Finally scores pointsHarris accumulated seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists over 20 minutes during Monday's 78-60 victory over Minnesota.

ImpactHarris has his first points of 2023 after going scoreless across the Fighting Illini's inaugural four games. Fantasy managers should not expect him to be a valued option unless the guard can continually log rebounds like he did Monday, which is unlikely, or score more consistently.

Braeden Carrington - Scores six off benchCarrington accumulated six points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 78-60 loss to Illinois.

ImpactCarrington went scoreless in the last two games before getting back on the board Monday. While he's scored as many as 20 points in a game this season, Carrington hasn't gotten a tremendous amount of opportunities to make that a regular event.

Jamison Battle - Exits game with back injuryBattle (back) exited Tuesday's game against Illinois, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

ImpactBattle logged eight points (4-of-11), three rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes before exiting in the second half. The 6-foot-7 junior was unable to return to the contest and it is unclear if he will miss time due to the injury. Minnesota's next game is against Purdue on Thursday, and Battle's status is in question for the contest.
