Not playing Wednesday Miller (leg) is not expected to play in Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Christy Chirinos of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Miller came off the bench in the team's last game, but was unable to have an impact due to his leg injury. The 7-footer will have to wait until Saturday at the earliest to get back out there.

Not expected to play Wednesday McGusty (leg) is not expected to play in Wednesdays game against Pittsburgh, Christy Chirinos of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact McGusty left last weekend's game against Florida Gulf Coast due to a leg injury. Miami is really struggling with injuries and will be shorthanded on Wednesday. McGusty will hope to be able to return on the weekend against Jacksonville.

Unlikely to play Wednesday Lykes (ankle) is unlikely to play in Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Christy Chirinos of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Lykes has not played since suffering an ankle injury earlier this month against Stetson. He should remain day-to-day going forward with his next chance to suit up being Saturday against Jacksonville.

Posts strong double-double Brooks recorded 13 points (4-7 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and an assist in 34 minutes during Saturday's 66-62 loss against Florida Gulf Coast.

Impact Brooks had delivered three average -- at best -- performances early on the season, but he broke out in a big way Saturday. Aside from posting double-digit figures in both points and rebounds for the first time during the 2020-21 campaign, the 15 boards represent a career-high mark for the senior. He has the talent to be an asset on both ends of the court and will try to build off this performance Wednesday against Pittsburgh.

Dealing with arm pain Cross is dealing with pain in his right arm, according to Cal Friedman of WVUM Sports.

Impact Miami's head coach Jim Larranaga didn't mention whether Cross' injury was serious, but he did say the injury is bothering him enough to weaken his shooting. With that in mind, he could be considered as questionable for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.

Not returning Saturday Miller (left leg) is out for the remainder of Saturday's game against Florida Gulf Coast.

Impact Miller came off the bench but didn't have a major impact in the game, missing his two shots from the field and grabbing an offensive rebound before departing the contest. It remains to be seen whether he'll be available for Miami's next game Wednesday at home against Pittsburgh.

Done for day McGusty will not return to Saturday's game against Florida Gulf Coast due to a right leg injury.

Impact McGusty left the game in the first half and was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The senior guard tallied three points and an assist prior to his exit and would be a major loss should the issue sideline him for an extended period.

Not playing Saturday Lykes (ankle) will not play Saturday against Florida Gulf Coast, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Lykes suffered an ankle injury last Friday and, while he remains listed as day-to-day, the game against Florida Gulf Coast will be the second straight contest he'll miss due to the injury. His next chance to play will come next Wednesday against Pittsburgh.

Stuffs stat sheet against Purdue Beverly recorded nine points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and two blocks across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 58-54 win over Purdue.

Impact Beverly paced the Hurricanes in minutes played and also did an excellent job of filling out the stat sheet -- he ended just one point and one rebound shy of a double-double, and he also paced the team in assists, steals, blocks and boards. It was a complete performance from the sophomore, who is now averaging 8.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game through his first three appearances.

Scores season-high 18 points McGusty scored 18 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), grabbed five rebounds and dished out two assists across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 58-54 win over Purdue.

Impact McGusty has started each of Miami's first three games and has scored in double digits in each of them, while also averaging 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in that span. Those numbers aren't eye-popping, but McGusty clearly looks like one of Miami's top offensive threats in the first few weeks of the regular season.

Waiting to hear from doctors Coach Jim Larranaga said Lykes' (ankle) status for Tuesday's game against Purdue is unkonwn, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Lykes met with doctors on Monday, but reports on the extent of his injured ankle is unclear at this point. At this point it seems unlikely he would be ready to suit up against Purdue, but we'll have to wait and see once more information comes out as to the extent of Lykes' injury.

Posts double-double with 12 boards Wong tallied 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and a block in 31 minutes during Friday's 82-60 win over Stetson.

Impact Wong was one of four Miami players that scored more than 10 points, and he finished the game as the Hurricanes' biggest offensive threat once Chris Lykes (ankle) left the game. Wong has scored 20 and 17 points in his first two contests, and he should be one of Miami's biggest scoring threats going forward. His next game will come Tuesday against Purdue.

DECEMBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Scores two in season debut Gak recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four rebounds over 10 minutes in Friday's 82-60 win over Stetson.

Impact Gak didn't appear in Sunday's season opener after missing most of last year with a knee injury. However, he returned to the court and played 10 minutes off the bench in his season debut. Although he likely won't play a major role for the Hurricanes this season, Gak should be available now that he's fully healthy.

Suffers ankle injury Friday Lykes left Friday's win over Stetson with a left ankle injury, Christopher Stock of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Lykes was quite effective to begin Friday's contest, totaling 20 points, five assists and four rebounds. However, he landed awkwardly after going up for a three-pointer with 11:50 remaining in the second half. He went to the locker room with trainers and didn't return. The nature and severity of the injury aren't yet known, and it's unclear whether he'll be ready for Tuesday's matchup against Purdue.

Posts double-double Beverly recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-9 FT), 11 rebounds, three steals and two assists in 21 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 77-59 win over North Florida.

Impact Beverly logged 21 minutes off the bench but made the most of them, posting a double-double with 11 boards -- that's excellent rebounding production for a guard. He only averaged 7.2 points per game as a freshman and, while he's not going to grab double-digit boards on a regular basis, he seems set to have a big year off the bench if the season debut was of any indication.

Scores team-high 20 points Wong recorded 20 points (9-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 35 minutes during Sunday's 77-59 win over North Florida.

Impact Wong paced Miami in both points and minutes played, and all signs would seem to indicate he's in line for a big year as one of the top offensive threats in the Hurricanes roster. He averaged 7.7 points per game as a freshman, but he scored 14.2 points per contest while starting each of the team's final 13 games last season, and that kind of production will be expected in his second year within the program.

NOVEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Fills stat sheet in win Cross posted 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 77-59 win over North Florida.

Impact Cross made a big impact on both ends of the court for the Hurricanes in the season opener, finishing as one of five players that scored at least 10 points and grabbing the second-most rebounds. It was a strong showing for the freshman in his college debut, and he will try to build off this performance in Miami's next game against Stetson on Friday.

Headed for extended absence Timberlake is set to miss the first 3-to-5 weeks of the season after sustaining a right ankle injury in practice, Manny Navarro of The Athletic reports.

Impact A top-40 recruit out of high school, Timberlake is a player head coach Jim Larranaga has very high hopes for. A couple of weeks ago Larranaga said he was working Timberlake out at four different positions in practice. Clearly a versatile player, Timberlake's injury news will leave a gaping hole in the depth of Miami's bench for the next month or so.
