Returns to bench role Newman (undisclosed) returned from injury and posted zero points (0-3 FG), one rebound and one assist over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 74-70 win over North Carolina State. Impact Newman missed the team's last game against Miami due to an undisclosed issue, but he recovered quickly to find the floor Tuesday. Unfortunately for the junior, he saw a season-low 12 minutes and failed to score on all three field-goal attempts. It's unclear if the lack of playing time is related to his recent injury, but Newman appears to be losing time to sophomore Alex Hememway, who has started the past two contests, posting averages of 7.5 points and 2.0 rebounds over 18.5 minutes per game. Saturday's game against North Carolina may help provide a clearer picture for Newman's fantasy outlook.
