Hunter McIntosh - Nearing season debutNevada head coach Steve Alford said McIntosh (knee) recently returned to practice and will be re-evaluated Friday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
ImpactThe Elon transfer has yet to suit up for Nevada this season since undergoing knee surgery in October. McIntosh looks to be nearing the finish line in his recovery, and his upcoming evaluation goes well, he could be able to make his Wolf Pack debut as soon as Friday versus Fresno State. Even if McIntosh is available for that contest, he'll likely be on some sort of minutes limit.
