Nolley, DeJulius lead Cincinnati past UCF, 73-71
Landers Nolley II scored 18 points to lead Cincinnati and David Dejulius hit the game-winning layup with one second remaining as the Bearcats knocked off UCF 73-71FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scores 15 points Durr notched 15 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 29 minutes during Sunday's 73-71 loss to Cincinnati.
Impact Durr's latest point tally is his first to be greater than 10 since the 2022-23 Golden Knights began their season Nov. 7. Based on that stat, it is obvious he will not be expected to serve as a formidable scorer. Even so, Durr's starting role is still better than being a substitute or healthy scratch, as his upside will be more promising than that of most of his teammates.

Impact Durr is expected to play limited minutes in his return to action for the first time since Jan. 8.

Sheds cast Durr (hand) was spotted without a cast on his left hand prior to Saturday's matchup against Tulsa, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports
Impact Durr underwent surgery in mid-January and has been sidelined for the last eight games, but Saturday's update appears to be a step in the right direction. Still, no return timetable has been provided for the 7-0 senior center. The Knights have recently bounced back from a five-game losing streak with back-to-back wins to even their record at 6-6 in AAC play. Anything Durr can provide down the stretch could be a major boost.

Set for surgery Thursday Durr is expected to undergo surgery Thursday to repair a fracture in his left hand, Jason Beede of 247Sports.com reports.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to floor Durr (undisclosed) contributed two points (1-2 FG), one rebound and one block over 11 minutes during Sunday's 66-64 loss to Miami (FL).
Impact After missing the teams previous game with an undisclosed injury, Durr returned to the floor, playing in a limited role. Durr's 11 minutes on the floor was the least amount of playing time he has played this season. The senior center did not start in the loss, appearing off the bench for the first time this season.
NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available against Spartans Durr (suspension) will be available for Saturday's game against Michigan State, Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Durr was one of five Hooisers who were suspended for undisclosed reasons for last Tuesday's game against Northwestern. Durr will look to contribute off the bench against the Spartans.
FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out for disciplinary reasons Durr (disciplinary reasons) will not play versus Northwestern on Tuesday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Durr plays sparingly most nights so him being out of the lineup shouldn't mix up the rotation that much. However, with most of Indiana's starters out due to the same reasons as Durr, many role players will get a chance to shine.
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sits back-to-back games Durr was sidelined for the second consecutive game in Saturday's 68-55 victory over Maryland.
Impact No word of an injury has yet surfaced, but Durr's absence is notable considering he'd seen the court in each of the last 18 games. The minutes have been highly inconsistent, however, ranging from two to 24. The seven-footer typically provides relief if Race Thompson finds himself in foul trouble, but Thompson played a clean game Saturday and had the hot hand, putting up 18 points and 12 rebounds. Even with that in mind, it's still a bit curious that freshman center Logan Duncomb saw the court before Durr. His next chance to take the court will be next Saturday against Illinois, so if there is an injury in play, a week on the sidelines may be enough time to heal up.

Makes season debut Durr (undisclosed) amassed two points (1-4 FG) and one assist across 10 minutes during Friday's 85-49 win over Northern Illinois.
Impact Durr didn't take the court in Tuesday's opener but made his season debut Friday. The redshirt junior should continue to play a bench role for the Hoosiers early in the year.
NOVEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Appears set to play Durr (undisclosed) looks set to join the action Friday against Northern Illinois, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Durr missed the opener but will get an opportunity to suit up in front of the home crowd Friday for the first time as a Hoosier. He will provide some depth at the five behind Trayce Jackson-Davis after averaging 8.8 points and 7.9 boards over 26.3 minutes per game in his 19 appearances with South Florida last year.
NOVEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
In uniform for warmups Durr (undisclosed) is warming up in uniform during warmups but is also doing some sort of rehab work, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Dopirak suggests Durr could be available in some fashion Friday, though there hasn't been confirmation yet on that front. Even if the junior big man does suit up, it's quite possible he will be limited in his first action of the season. He's also behind Trayce Jackson-Davis at center, so it remains to be seen how much action he will see even when he's fully healthy.
NOVEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not spotted warming up Durr (undisclosed) was not seen in pregame warmups, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Durr was questionable going into the contest due to an undisclosed injury that he in managing. It's looking like the South Florida transfer might have to wait until the team's next game to make his Indiana debut.

Hoping to play in opener Durr (undisclosed) is still managing an injury according to head coach Mike Woodson, Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Durr was expected to be ready to go for the start of the 2021-22 season, but it sounds like it might come down to a game-time decision. Durr has been able to practice a bit recently, but the team will want to make sure the South Florida transfer will be 100 percent.
NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Should be ready for season Durr (undisclosed) expects to be ready to begin the 2021-22 season according to head coach Mike Woodson, Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact It's not immediately clear what type of injury Durr is dealing with, as he completed last season in good health for Central Florida -- even logging back-to-back double-doubles to wrap things up. Once healthy, he's expected to provide post depth behind the likes of Trayce Jackson-Davis and Race Thompson. That, mixed with an uptick in competition heading to the Big Ten conference, might make it challenging to match averages of 8.8 points and 7.9 rebounds from a season ago.
