Eric Curry - Meager output in return Curry racked up three points (0-5 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during Sunday's 75-62 loss to Northwestern.

Impact Curry was a game-time decision coming into Sunday's regular season finale after sitting out one game with an upper body injury.
