KANSAS STATE WILDCATS NEWS

Not expected to play Saturday Ezeagu (knee) is not expected to play in Saturday's game against Texas, Kellis Robinett of The Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Ezeagu will likely miss his tenth straight game Saturday due to a knee injury. Luke Kasubke (foot) and Nijel Pack (COVID-19) will also miss the contest. Davion Bradford, who has stepped in and started in place of Ezeagu over the past nine games, will look to continue holding things down at center for Kansas State.

Status for Saturday unclear Ezeagu's (knee) status for Saturday's game is cloudy at this point, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Ezeagu is expected to return before the end of January, but it sounds as though Saturday hasn't been ruled out as a potential return date. The sophomore averaged north of 20 minutes per contest during the first four games this season, so his return could help a Wildcats team that is expected to be shorthanded.

Set to be limited Saturday Lewis (undisclosed) will be limited for Saturday's game against Texas, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Lewis isn't typically a large contributor, but it sounds like the Wildcats will be shorthanded in terms of fully healthy bodies, so there's a chance he may still see some run Saturday. Considering he missed the previous contest completely, limited action versus Texas would actually mark an upgrade from his most recent status.

To be limited Saturday Coach Bruce Webber indicated Friday that Gordon will be limited for Saturday's game versus Texas, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Gordon doesn't seem to be in danger of missing the contest completely, but he could see fewer minutes than the 31.6 he's averaged so far on the season. Given that Webber suggested the team has just six or seven fully healthy scholarship players, he will likely still try to get what he can out of Gordon in what figures to be a tough contest versus the Longhorns.

Good to go Saturday Gordon (COVID-19 protocol) will retake the floor Saturday versus Texas, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Even with Gordon back in the fold, the Wildcats are facing an uphill climb to upset the Longhorns given that the team features just six or seven fully healthy scholarship players. Given that statement, Webber may look to get as much as he can out of Gordon in his return.

JANUARY 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

To be limited Saturday Linguard will be limited for Saturday's game versus Texas, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Linguard is one of a laundry list of players who will be either limited or unavailable for the Wildcats on Saturday. According to head coach Bruce Weber, Kansas State has just six or seven fully healthy scholarship players, so Linguard should still see some minutes if he can handle it.

Impact Lewis is scheduled to miss a handful of games as a result, leaving the already shorthanded Wildcats down to just eight total players for the clash with the Cowboys. It appears Lewis is headed for a multi-game absence, so the short bench figures to extend into the future.

Slated to miss multiple games Pack complained of COVID-19 symptoms Thursday and is expected to miss multiple games, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Pack hasn't necessarily tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll be sidelined in order to prevent potential spread. Seryee Lewis will also miss several games due to contact tracing since the two players are roommates. Rueadale Williams is starting in Pack's place Saturday and should continue to do so while Pack is sidelined.

Unavailable Saturday Lewis won't play in Saturday's game against Oklahoma State, Derek Young of Rival.com reports.

Impact Lewis is coming off of just his third game this season in which he played double-digit minutes but will sit along with a large number of other Wildcats on Saturday. Kansas State will have just six available scholarship players, so they should all get a lot of run.

Ruled out Saturday Pack (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Oklahoma State, Derek Young of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Pack had started each of the first 12 games of his freshman season, but he'll be unavailable Saturday for an unspecified reason. Rueadale Williams should see increased playing time in his absence. It's not yet clear whether Pack will be able to return Wednesday against Iowa State.

Season likely over Head coach Bruce Webber said Friday that Murphy will undergo a procedure on his knee next week and is unlikely to return this season, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact It's unclear what type of knee surgery Murphy is actually getting but his recovery time is expected to be around six weeks. Realistically he could have a chance to return this season but the team likely won't rush him back into action if they don't feel comfortable. Murphy has averaged 2.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 12.5 minutes this season and will cede a majority of those minutes tohref="https://www.rotowire.com/cbasketball/player.php?id=16554">Carlton Linguard.

Expected back at end of month Ezeagu (knee) is expected to return at the end of January, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Ezeagu hasn't played since Dec. 5 against UNLV after suffering a knee injury. He appears to be progressing in his rehab, as he's expected back at the end of the month. Davion Bradford has seen the bulk of Ezeagu's vacated minutes over the past month, averaging 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds over 23.0 minutes per game over the past eight contests. Carlton Linguard has also found an increased role during the same span, though it's small and shouldn't garner fantasy consideration.

Considering knee surgery Head coach Bruce Weber said Tuesday that Murphy is contemplating knee surgery, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Murphy didn't travel with the team for Tuesday's game against Texas Tech due to his knee injury. The extent of the injury is unknown, so it's unclear how much time Murphy could miss if he chooses surgery. Kansas State's frontcourt is still banged up, as Kaosi Ezeagu (knee) is out until the end of the month, and Antonio Gordon will remain out until Jan. 13 due to COVID-19 protocols. Meanwhile, Davion Bradford has filled in adequately, averaging 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds over 23.0 minutes per game since his role increased.
