Juwan Gary - Goes scoreless in 17 minutes Head coach Fred Hoiberg revealed that Gary has been dealing with a shoulder injury and it got "jammed" during Thursday's 75-61 win over Omaha, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Gary's performance was clearly affected by the injury, as he missed both his shot attempts and had three turnovers in just 17 minutes before exiting the game for good. It's unclear if this will be something Gary is able to play through or not. He'll have a week to recover and prepare for a trip to face St. John's on Nov. 17.

Blaise Keita - Starting vs. Omaha Keita is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Omaha, Jimmy Watkins of the Omaha World-Herald reports.

Impact Keita will make a second consecutive start after recording two points, one rebound and one assist in 10 minutes of action in Monday's win over Maine. The 6-foot-11 big man will look to improve his production against Omaha on Thursday.

Derrick Walker - Won't play Thursday Walker (undisclosed) will not be available for Thursday's game against Omaha, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Walker's situation remains unknown besides for the fact that he's reportedly missing time due to "healthcare reasons." The team has not expanded on what is going on and no timeline for his potential debut has been revealed. Juwan Gary will get another start and figures to remain in that role as long as Walker is out.

Sam Griesel - Solid in win Griesel registered 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 79-66 victory over Maine.

Impact Griesel looked plenty lively in his first start since transferring from North Dakota State, offering efficient play from the field and on the glass. He and fellow transfer Juwan Gary are a front-court duo to track for a team that has yet to record a winning record under coach Fred Hoiberg.

Juwan Gary - Opens season with double-double Gary finished Monday's 79-66 win over Maine with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes.

Impact Gary wasn't exactly making his shots but didn't always need to in a light early-season matchup. As he also missed half of his attempts from the free-throw stripe, Gary has plenty of work to do as he settles in following his transfer from Alabama.

Derrick Walker - Seems likely to sit opener Walker (undisclosed) appears unlikely to suit up for Monday's season opener against Maine, Jimmy Watkins of the Omaha World-Herald reports.

Impact Walker's situation has largely been kept under wraps by the team, as the senior forward did not participate in Nebraska's exhibition due to what was only described as "healthcare reasons." When asked about Walker's status via Twitter, the team reporter only said "doubt we'll see him tonight" and wouldn't elaborate on anything beyond that. Any prospective absence for Walker is bad news for the Huskers, as he's the team's leading returning scorer at 9.5 ppg, in addition to a defense presence around the basket.

Nebraska hosts Maine to open season

Derrick Walker - Mysteriously absent from exhibition Walker wasn't available for Sunday's exhibition matchup against Colorado due to "healthcare reasons," Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Coach Fred Hoiberg didn't elaborate any further on the issue and even implied that it would be up to Walker to disclose it if he wanted to. At best, this clouds Walker's status for the Nov. 7 season opener against Maine. The 6-9 senior forward was slated to be a starter and key contributor after averaging 9.5 points and 6.0 rebounds across 32 games (all starts) last season. In his stead, Keita Blaise started alongside Wilhelm Breidenback in the frontcourt, while Juwan Gary remained in a sixth-man role. Gary scored 11 points across 23 minutes, while Blaise was limited to two points in 12 minutes.

Sam Griesel - Looks good in exhibition Griesel had 14 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and a steal across 29 minutes in Sunday's exhibition victory over Chadron State.

Impact After posting back-to-back seasons with double-digit scoring at North Dakota State, Griesel hit the transfer market in hopes of playing his final collegiate season in power conference. Not only will he get his wish at Nebraska, but he appears to have locked down a starting wing spot. He led all starters in scoring and ended up with the second-most attempts from the field when it was all said and done. At the very least, this puts the newcomer on the fantasy radar in daily formats featuring Nebraska, or season-long leagues with a Big Ten emphasis.

Juwan Gary - High shot volume in exhibition Gary had a team-high 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go along with nine rebounds across 20 minutes off the bench in Sunday's exhibition victory over Chadron State.

Impact Gary served as the sixth man in this one, with Derrick Walker and Wilhelm Breidenbach composing the starting frontcourt for the Huskers. He still played more minutes and saw far more volume than anyone else on the team as the only Nebraska player to attempt double-digit shots. After averaging 6.5 ppg across 15.5 mpg with Alabama last year, Gary hit the transfer market this offseason, likely in search of a destination that would allow him a bigger role. Whether he ends up in the starting five or not, it appears he's found it.
