Sahvir Wheeler - In starting lineup Wheeler (neck) will rejoin the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Tennessee.

Impact Wheeler was expected to make his return Saturday and it seemed a good bet he would be in the starting five upon doing so. That's indeed the case, suggesting he's in line for his typical workload of around 29.0 minutes per game. Davion Mintz moves back to the bench in a corresponding move.

Shaedon Sharpe - Taking part in full warmups Sharpe is warming up fully ahead of Saturday's game against Tennessee, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach John Calipari indicated that when Sharpe joined the team, it was unlikely he would be ready to see the floor this season. It's unclear if that mindset has changed at this point, but Sharpe's full participation in warmups may indicate he could see action at some point this season.
