Available against Drake Omier (ankle) has been medically cleared and will play in Friday's game versus Drake, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Omier will return to the lineup Friday after playing just one minute due to an ankle injury he suffered against Duke. The sophomore big man is averaging 13.6 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.4 minutes in 32 games this season.

Expected to play Friday Omier (ankle) is expected to play Friday against Drake, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Impact Omier sustained an ankle injury during last week's ACC Tournament, but he participated in practice Wednesday. He appeared to be trending toward playing during Miami's first-round matchup in the NCAA Tournament, and it appears as though he'll be able to suit up as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks during pregame warmups.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available if no setback Omier (ankle) will be available Friday if he suffers no setback with his injury before Miami's game against Drake, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Omier has been able to practice on back-to-back days now. According to Miami's head coach Jim Larranaga, Omier will play on Friday "if his ankle doesn't swell overnight" before the Drake-Miami game. Omier's presence will be crucial to prevent a first-round upset and advancement into the 2023 NCAA Tournament's Round of 32.

Practices Wednesday Omier (ankle) was able to participate in practice Wednesday ahead of Friday's first-round matchup with Drake in the NCAA Tournament, Mike Cugno of CBS4 Miami reports.

Impact Omier, who exited early in the ACC Championship Game over the weekend with an apparent ankle injury, remains questionable to suit up Friday. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has appeared in all 32 games this season (31 starts), averaging 13.6 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, one steal and 1.3 blocks on 28.4 minutes per game. Omier's participation in practice is a good sign for his availability, but if he is ultimately unable to suit up, the Hurricanes will turn to Anthony Walker to serve as the starting center.

MARCH 13, 2023 • SUN-SENTINEL.COM

Opening-round status uncertain Omier (ankle) is day-to-day heading into Miami's NCAA Tournament matchup against Drake on Friday night, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Omier lasted only one minute in Miami's ACC Tournament semifinal loss to Duke before going down with an ankle injury. The sophomore transfer from Arkansas State has enjoyed a stellar year in his move to a high-major program, as he leads the Hurricanes in rebounding (9.7 rpg) and has the third-best scoring average on the team (13.6 ppg). Miami's opening-round opponent, Drake, has the third-best defensive rebounding rate in the country, as well as a 6-10 senior in Darnell Brodie roaming the paint. If Omier can't go, Miami would be at a significant disadvantage and have to rely on the likes of Anthony Walker and freshman AJ Casey to man the five.

Out for remainder of game Omier won't return to Friday's game versus Duke due to an ankle injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Omier left Friday's game versus Duke after just three minutes due to an ankle injury, but managed to avoid breaking any bones. Miami will have to beat Duke for Omier to have a chance to play in the ACC Tournament championship, otherwise, his next opportunity to suit up will come in March madness.

MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in tight win Omier totaled 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 27 minutes during Thursday's 74-72 win over Wake Forest.

Impact Omier was everywhere for Miami and played a pivotal role in Thursday's win while recording a second straight double-double. He's achieved that feat four times over his last 10 appearances and thrice over the last four, and he should play a significant role in the ACC Tournament semifinals against Duke on Friday.
