NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • 247SPORTS.COM

Juwan Gary - Out again Gary (suspension) is out for Nebraska's game Thursday against Florida A&M, according to Robin Washut of Rivals.com.

Impact Gary will have his Nebraska suspension continued until Thursday. Currently, Brice Williams and Josiah Allick are expected to serve as their starting forwards again as the suspended junior will be day-to-day until further notice.

Keisei Tominaga - Game-time decision Thursday Tominaga (ankle) is a game-time decision for Nebraska's game Thursday against Florida A&M, according to Robin Washut of Rivals.com.

Impact Tominaga participated in Nebraska's practice Wednesday. The team will monitor how his injured ankle reacts to work Thursday. If he must out then, the Cornhuskers could have Jamarques Lawrence and C.J. Wilcher be their starting backcourt again.

Matar Diop - Plays six minutes Diop logged three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one block across his six minutes during Nebraska's 84-52 win Monday against Lindenwood.

Impact Diop began playing college basketball Monday. However, him logging fewer than seven minutes then is not promising for his future output across Nebraska's 2023-24 season. Juwan Gary (suspension) and Blaise Keita (ankle) were both out Monday. Even though two non-freshmen of the Cornhuskers' frontcourt did not play, Diop recorded a minute tally too little to be promising unless they are affected by more unavailability.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brice Williams - Solid in program debut Williams ended with 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block over 23 minutes during Monday's 84-52 win over Lindenwood.

Impact Williams converted 4-of-11 attempts from the field on route to a 13-point finish against Lindenwood. The 6-foot-7 junior from Charlotte put his scoring ability on display in his Nebraska debut, finishing as one-of-five Cornhuskers to reach double digits. Williams will look to improve upon his shooting numbers during Thursday's matchup with Florida A&M.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

C.J. Wilcher - Scores 13 in opener Wilcher ended Monday's 84-52 victory over Lindenwood with 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes.

Impact Wilcher, who took over the starting shooting guard spot for the Cornhuskers at the end of the 2022 season, was solid in Nebraska's season debut. The 6-foot-5 junior averaged eight points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 27.2 minutes per game in 2022 (24 starts), and he appears poised for a similar role in 2023.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ramel Lloyd - Ruled out for opener Lloyd (knee) will not be available for Monday's game against Lindenwood, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Lloyd has been able to do some non-contact work in practice but is still not fully cleared from a knee injury. The redshirt freshman is hoping to potentially crack the rotation this season, but this knee injury is making that task more difficult.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matar Diop - Available against Lindenwood Diop (illness) is available for the Cornhuskers' game Monday against Lindenwood, according to Robin Washut of Rivals.com.

Impact Without either Juwan Gary (suspension) or Blaise Keita (available), Diop could play more minutes than usual. He was excluded from the Cornhuskers' injury report released Monday.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josiah Allick - Will be available in opener Allick (knee) will be available for Monday's game against Lindenwood, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Allick returned to practice last week and has been on track to suit up due to a tweaked knee. While he didn't go in the exhibition game, Allick will be there in his first regular season opportunity with the Huskers. He averaged 8.3 points and 7.3 rebounds last season with New Mexico.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rienk Mast - Available vs. Lindenwood Mast (undisclosed) is available for the Cornhuskers' game Monday against Lindenwood, according to Robin Washut of Rivals.com.

Impact Mast was excluded from the Cornhuskers' injury report released Monday. Currently, he is expected to be their starting center against Lindenwood. Mast averaged 13.8 points and 8.0 rebounds across his 29 games started during Bradley's 2022-23 season.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ahron Ulis - Not playing in opener Ulis (not injury related) will not be available for Monday's game against Lindenwood, Steve Marik of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Ulis pled guilty to a series of underage gambling allegations back in September. There still has not been an update on when he might be able to return to the court. For now consider him out indefinitely until further notice.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blaise Keita - Not available for opener Keita (ankle) will not play in Monday's game against Lindenwood, Steve Marik of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Keita still has yet to be cleared from an ankle injury he suffered in fall practice. There's not timetable for his return at this point. Keita will be a depth option in the frontcourt when healthy.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keisei Tominaga - Out vs. Lindenwood Tominaga (ankle) is out for Nebraska's game Monday against Lindenwood, according to Steve Marik of Rivals.com.

Impact Tominaga twisted his ankle during Nebraska's exhibition game on Oct. 29. Despite no longer wearing a protective boot, he still needs to sit out at least one game. Currently, Tominaga's next opportunity to play is against Florida A&M on Thursday.

Dealing with a string of injuries and illnesses, key Huskers may be on the upswing as opener approaches Husker hoops coach Fred Hoiberg gives the latest on the health of his team before Monday's opener.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • 247SPORTS.COM

Keisei Tominaga - Already out of boot Tominaga is no longer wearing a protective boot around his ankle, according to Steve Marik of Rivals.com.

Impact According to Brian Christopherson of 247Sports.com, Tominaga twisted his ankle during Nebraska's exhibition game Sunday against Doane. He was given a protective boot thereafter. However, Tominaga already not using it indicates his ankle is improving quickly and probably ready for when the 2023-24 Cornhuskers begin their regular season Monday against Lindenwood.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rienk Mast - Undergoes non-contact practice Mast (undisclosed) has undergone non-contact practice, Steve Marik of Rivals.com.

Impact Mast is one of many players on Nebraska's injury report. Currently, his availability status is questionable as the Cornhuskers prepare to begin their 2023-24 season Monday against Lindenwood. Mast would likely be Nebraska's starting center if he can play then.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Hoiberg - Catches fire in exhibition outing Hoiberg closed with 15 points (7-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals during Monday's 84-53 win over Doane University.

Impact Hoiberg led the Cornhuskers with 15 points as they cruised to a 31-point win over Doane University. The 6-foot sophomore, who averaged 4.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 steals on 12.7 minutes per game last season, could be poised for an increased role this season.

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jamarques Lawrence - Posts 11 rebounds in exhibition game Lawrence finished with five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals during Monday's 84-53 win over Doane University.

Impact Lawrence was uncharacteristically active on the glass during Monday's exhibition win, after recording zero double-digit rebounding performances last season. The 6-foot-3 sophomore is the Cornhuskers' presumed starting point guard in 2023, and he will look to build upon a solid freshman season.

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juwan Gary - DNP in exhibition game Gary (undisclosed) did not appear in Monday's 84-53 win over Doane University.

Impact Gary, who was cleared to return to full activity in July, was not active for Nebraska's exhibition game. It remains unclear if his absence stems from his season-ending shoulder injury, or what the junior's expected status for Monday's season opener against Lindenwood is.
