Grant Sherfield - Out with foot injurySherfield isn't in uniform for Tuesday's game against UNLV due to a foot injury, Kirsten Moran of Nevada Sports Net reports.
ImpactSherfield will miss his first game of the season after picking up the foot injury Saturday against Utah State, when he was limited to four points (1-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and five assists in a season-low 26 minutes. Daniel Foster should take on a heavier role with Sherfield sidelined.

Donovan Williams - Dunking in warmups TuesdayWilliams (knee) warmed up with the team prior to Tuesday's game against Nevada, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
ImpactAfter being previously listed as unlikely to play Tuesday, Williams was dunking in the warmup lines ahead of Tuesday's game. Williams has started the last seven games in which he has appeared this season, though he did not play in two of the last three games while fighting the injury. He will remain a game time decision, though Williams looks hopeful to play after practicing on a limited basis Monday.
