Enters starting five Ambrose-Hylton is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Florida A&M.

Impact Ambrose-Hylton will enter the starting lineup in place of Matt Cross, who was ruled out earlier today with a back injury. Ambrose-Hylton impressed in the team's debut with 12 points, five rebounds and two blocks in 26 minutes off the bench and should see an even more extended role with Cross unavailable.

Returns in exhibition play Ambrose-Hylton (knee) had two points (1-4 FG) and five rebounds across 13 minutes in Sunday's 73-68 exhibition victory over Louisiana.

Impact A knee injury suffered in early-October was projected to sideline the sophomore guard for 2-3 weeks, but the fact Ambrose-Hylton was able to suit up for a low-stakes exhibition suggests it shouldn't be an issue in the regular season. While exhibition box scores should be taken with a grain of salt, the fact Ambrose-Hylton logged 13 minutes in what ended up being a five-point game bodes well for his chances of improving upon a 4.2 mpg average from a season ago.

Sidelined 2-3 weeks Ambrose-Hylton will be sidelined for the next 2-to-3 weeks due to a dislocated knee cap, Cecil Hurt of The Tuscaloosa News reports.

Impact On a positive note, Ambrose-Hylton is expected to be ready for the start of the season, so the sophomore appears to have avoided a major blow. As a freshman last year, he averaged just 4.2 minutes off the bench in his 18 appearances, but he could have a chance to carve out a slightly larger role in 2021-22 if he can stay healthy.
