Key contributor for Gophers Gach recorded 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals over 33 minutes in Saturday's 88-73 win over Loyola Marymount.

Impact Gach has had a consistent role over his first two games with the Golden Gophers, playing at least 30 minutes in each contest while averaging 15.5 points. The Utah transfer hasn't missed a beat to begin his time in the Big Ten, and he figures to be one of Minnesota's key contributors this year.

Warming up ahead of game Williams (shoulder) is dressed and going through warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Loyola-Marymount, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Williams was apparently dealing with a minor shoulder issue that forced him out of Wednesday's season opener but looks to be ready to take the floor for his 2020 debut. Williams started five games and averaged just over 16 minutes as a freshman and should see his opportunities increase as he becomes more experienced at the college level.

Warming up ahead of game Mutaf (undisclosed) is in uniform and taking part in warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Loyola-Marymount, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Mutaf did not dress for the Gophers' season opener against Green Bay and despite a probable return shouldn't be expected to see the floor unless his team is able to build a sizeable lead.

Hauls in nine rebounds Wednesday Robbins racked up 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, one steal and one block over 18 minutes in Wednesday's 99-69 win over Wisconsin-Green Bay.

Impact Robbins was ruled immediately eligible for the 2020-21 season after transferring from Drake, and he claimed a role in the starting five during his debut with the Golden Gophers. The junior has big shoes to fill following Daniel Oturu's departure, but he held his own Wednesday as he led the team in rebounds.

Plenty of volume in season debut Carr totaled 35 points (12-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 99-69 win over Wisconsin-Green Bay.

Impact Carr decided to return to Minnesota for his junior year after initially declaring for the 2020 NBA Draft, and he made a statement in the season opener. He was the Gophers' top scorer thanks to a high shot volume paired with solid efficiency as he helped the team stave off a second-half surge from the Phoenix.

Sees work opening day Johnson (ankle) had four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and seven rebounds across 13 minutes in Wednesday's victory over Green Bay.

Impact Johnson conceded the starting frontcourt spots to Eric Curry and Liam Robbins, but still managed to get some run despite dealing with an ankle injury this week in practice. The Western Michigan transfer was a double-double machine his junior year and should factor more into the mix as the season moves forward.

Not starting Wednesday's opener Johnson (ankle) will not start Wednesday's game against Green Bay, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Johnson is reportedly dealing with an ankle issue, so it's unclear in what capacity he will be available for the opener. Even when fully healthy, it's unclear if the big man will have a cemented role in the starting five.

Getting start against Green Bay Curry will start the season opener against Green Bay on Wednesday, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Curry will get to start from game one as he looks to put his long injury history behind him for his senior season. The 6-9 forward averaged 5.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game the last time he was able to play a full season as a freshman.

Won't play in opener Mutaf was spotted in street clothes ahead of Wednesday's opener versus Green Bay, indicating he will sit out the contest, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Mutaf doesn't have a cemented role in the rotation at this point, so his absence will force us to wait a little longer to see if he will factor into the backcourt this season. His next opportunity to debut arrives Dec. 4 versus North Dakota
