Day’Ron Sharpe and Armando Bacot combined for 33 points and 18 rebounds as North Carolina used its strength inside to beat North Carolina State 86-76JANUARY 23, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Plays 30 minutes off the bench Bates (ankle) had 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and seven blocks in 30 minutes of action durinng Saturday's 86-76 loss to UNC.
Impact Bates missed the Wolfpack's last game before due to an apparent ankle issue but was back and ready to contribute in a big way after the team went on a small layoff due to COVID-19 problems. The 6-11 sophomore is typically a starter and will likely find himself back with the first unit after a solid performance in Saturday's loss.

Will be game-time decision Bates (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against North Carolina, according to Rodd Baxley of The Fayetteville Observer.
Impact The Wolfpack will resume playing Saturday after a 10-day layoff, but it remains to be seen whether Bates will be able to take the court. He has only missed one game this season, though.

In starting five Bates (knee) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Clemson.
Impact Despite suffering what initially looked to be a potentially-serious knee injury, it looks like Bates will give it a go for the ACC matchup. He and the Wolfpack may have a tough go against Aamir Simms and a tough Clemson frontcourt.

Will take court Tuesday Bates (knee) will play in Tuesday's game against Clemson.
Impact Bates was warming up with the team pregame, so this is final confirmation that the center will be able to go after a knee injury suffered the last time out against Boston College. It's not clear if he will be limited at all, however.
JANUARY 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Spotted warming up Bates (knee) was seen warming up with no extra knee projection prior to Tuesday's matchup against Clemson, Miles Masercola of Hoop State Network reports.
Impact Bates is considered a game-time call for the contest, but his early workouts seem to be a good sign. He was held to just seven minutes last time out against Boston College before suffering a left knee injury that required a MRI later in the week.

Will be game-time decision Bates (knee) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against N.C. State, The Wolfpacker reports.
Impact Bates had an MRI over the weekend, which came back negative. He suffered a knee injury last time out against Boston College. We'll have to wait to see Bates' participation in pregame warmups to get a feel for if he will suit up or not.

Will get MRI Bates will undergo an MRI on his left knee, Matt Carter of Rivals reports.
Impact Bates originally suffered the injury in the first half of Wednesday's matchup against Boston College, and while he originally tried to walk it off (and even returned briefly), the sophomore forward was unable to continue. While coach Kevin Keatts doesn't appear to be overly concerned just yet, the team will take a conservative approach and run the appropriate tests to clear Bates of any further concerns. Until the results come in, he should be considered questionable at best for Tuesday's matchup against Clemson. Fortunately for the Wolfpack, DJ Funderburk returned Wednesday and logged 30 minutes off the bench. He and Jericho Hellems will have to serve as the primary forwards until Bates is cleared.

Won't return Wednesday Bates won't return to Wednesday's contest against Boston College due to an injury, Craig Hammel reports.
Impact Bates' night is done after coming down with an undisclosed injury. Bates recorded four points before exiting. NC State battles Clemson on Tuesday, so the center will have almost a week to get healthy before the next game.
