JAMES BOUKNIGHT NEWS

Bench role in return Bouknight will appear off the bench Tuesday versus Providence, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.

Impact Bouknight may have to wait a bit longer for his return to action, but the star guard, who has averaged north of 20 points per game this season, will have to wait his turn and could be slotted for a slightly smaller role than usual following an extended absence. Andre Jackson will hold on to the starting role Tuesday but will likely cede it in the near future.

Undergoes elbow surgery Bouknight underwent surgery on his left elbow on Tuesday and is out indefinitely, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bouknight suffered what was originally reported as a hyperextended elbow earlier this month, but after surgery it appears that his injury was more severe than originally thought. This is a massive loss for the Huskies, as Bouknight was averaging 20.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals per game this season. We should get more information over the coming weeks as to when Bouknight may be able to resume basketball activities.

Unavailable Monday Bouknight (elbow) will not play in Monday's game against DePaul, Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.com reports.

Impact Bouknight will miss his second straight game with a hyperextended elbow. UConn's star guard will have a full week off before the team's next game against St. John's. Bouknight is averaging 20.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals per game this season. Brendan Adams will likely get the start at shooting guard again on Monday.

Looking iffy for Monday Bouknight (elbow) "probably won't" be available Monday against DePaul, Dom Amore of the Harford Courant reports.

Impact The same sentiment is echoed by Thomas Giustino of SB Nation, who suspects Bouknight will be held out due to an extended break for the Huskies on tap. After Monday's contest, UConn has a full week off, as a scheduled matchup Friday against Villanova has been postponed. This could effectively be an opportunity to get Bouknight nearly two weeks off and only miss two games, though it's always possible the injury is less serious and he could suit up. If that's the case, the next big question mark would be his effectiveness. Bouknight originally suffered the injury against Marquette on Jan. 5 and was just 3-for-12 from the field while attempting to tough it out.
