Impact Poplar suffered an undisclosed injury during Miami's loss. But according to Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald, his health status was fine post-game. The injury scare should not prevent Poplar from participating in Miami's upcoming matchup scheduled Monday at North Carolina.

Jordan Miller - Stuffs stat sheet in win Miller notched 16 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 81-59 win over Duke.
Impact Aside from registering his 18th straight game with double-digit points, which goes to show how consistent he can be, Miller was impressive in other categories as well and delivered perhaps one of his most well-rounded performances of the season. The senior forward is averaging 15.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game over his last 10 contests.

Norchad Omier - Puts up double-double against Duke Omier supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 81-59 victory over Duke.
Impact Omier went three straight games without a double-double, but he snapped that streak Monday with an excellent outing while being one of the driving forces behind Miami's impressive 22-point win over Duke. The sophomore is averaging 13.9 points and 10.9 rebounds per game since the start of January.

Isaiah Wong - Scores 15 points with 12 shots Wong logged 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 78-74 victory over Clemson.
Impact Wong was active on offense and delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court, as he posted good numbers as a scorer and facilitator while also contributing as a rebounding presence. One of the most veteran players on the Hurricanes roster, Wong is averaging 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game over his last five outings.

Wooga Poplar - Produces offensively Tuesday Poplar totaled 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 86-63 victory over Florida State.
Impact While Poplar owned the lowest mpg and usage rate among Miami starters over the team's five games entering Tuesday, he's still been a consistent figure in the starting lineup, which he's been part of in all 20 games of the 2022-23 season. The sophomore did put up his highest scoring total of ACC play Tuesday and will continue to be a "glue guy" for the Canes as conference play presses forward.

Isaiah Wong - Solid game despite illness Wong ended with 18 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 86-63 victory over Florida State.
Impact Wong had been dealing with a bad sinus infection this week, but it didn't prevent him from doing the dirty work in a blowout victory, as he put up a season-best nine rebounds in the 23-point win. There don't appear to be any concerns about the junior's availability for the Canes moving forward.

Isaiah Wong - Starting Tuesday Wong (illness) will be available and starting Tuesday at Florida State.
Impact The junior has been battling an illness this week, but will be in the starting rotation Tuesday at Florida State. This is great news for the Canes as Wong is averaging 16.2 points and 4.4 rebounds this season.

Norchad Omier - Pulls down 14 boards Saturday Omier supplied nine points (3-9 FG, 3-5 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 68-66 loss to Duke.
Impact Omier struggled badly from the field and couldn't score in double digits for the first time since he registered six points on Nov. 11 against UNCG. One of the most reliable two-way big men in the ACC, Omier is averaging 13.6 points and 12.8 rebounds per game across five January contests.
JANUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Wong - Battling sinus infection Head coach Jim Larranaga said that Wong is dealing with a sinus infection and has been "sick as a dog," Mike Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.
Impact Wong, who's averaging 16.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 33.3 minutes per game this season, posted an underwhelming 7-2-1 stat line on just 25 minutes played in Saturday's loss to Duke. It's since been revealed that the 6-foot-4 guard played through a sinus infection that most likely slowed him down this past weekend, and his availability for Tuesday's matchup versus Florida State is now in question. Should Wong eventually miss any time, Bensley Joseph and Nisine Poplar would both be in store for additional minutes.
JANUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
AJ Casey - Plays four minutes Casey (shoulder) logged four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) across four minutes during the Hurricanes' 68-66 loss Saturday at Duke.
Impact Casey sat out thrice during January. But now that the Hurricanes freshman is healthy again, he can continue being a backup they used before his previous injury. Casey averaged 7.8 minutes from Nov. 11 to Jan. 4.
JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nijel Pack - Better at Duke Pack logged 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist across 33 minutes during Miami's 68-66 loss Saturday at Duke.
Impact Across the Hurricanes' first half of January, they played outside Miami twice. Pack logged a field goal percentage worse than 33.3 both games. It was 40.0 during their matchup at Duke; and despite his inefficient scoring across the first three weeks of January, he averaged 12.0 points.

AJ Casey - DNP vs. Syracuse Casey (shoulder) did not play during the Hurricanes' 82-78 win Monday versus Syracuse.
Impact Despite his availability status being probable before Monday, Casey sat out as the Hurricanes logged their third loss of January that day. Casey's next opportunity to return is when they play at Duke on Saturday.

Harlond Beverly - Best game of season Monday Beverly ended with 16 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 82-78 victory over Syracuse.
Impact Beverly posted a season-high scoring mark in this win, and in fact, he has reached the 15-point mark in two of his last three outings. He's also logged at least 20 minutes in each of those three contests, and he might be carving a bigger role off the bench as the season is progressing.
