Impact Stevenson sat out all of the 2022 Legends Classic and Pittsburgh's latest game Sunday. Until a status is publicized concerning his availability, fantasy managers should consider him unavailable indefinitely.

Vason Stevenson - DNP again Sunday Stevenson (undisclosed) did not play during Pittsburgh's 73-54 win Sunday versus Alabama State.
William Jeffress - Likely out for season Pittsburgh's head coach Jeff Capel said Jeffress will "probably miss the year," Corey Crisan of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Impact Jeffress must undergo foot surgery. Specifically, the surgical procedure will be on one of his toes. Fantasy managers should expect him to try redshirting Pittsburgh's 2022-23 season. Because whether or not Jeffress will be out for it, surgery indicates his return date is 2023.

Jorge Diaz Graham - Part of starting lineup Diaz Graham is a part of the Panthers' starting lineup Sunday, according to their official Twitter account.
Impact The team is rewarding Diaz Graham after he recorded an adequate log across 20 minutes Thursday against VCU. Greg Elliott will be a backup Sunday.

John Hugley - In uniform but not part of lineup Hugley (knee) is in uniform but not starting Sunday versus Alabama State.
Impact Fantasy managers should expect Hugley to play Sunday. But unfortunately for him, Fede Federiko is a part of Pittsburgh's starting lineup again.

Jamarius Burton - Out vs. Alabama State Burton is out Sunday because of a knee injury, according to the Pittsburgh Panthers' official Twitter account.
Impact Burton has knee inflammation as the Panthers prepare to play Alabama State. He will try returning when they host Fairleigh-Dickinson on Tuesday.

John Hugley - Expected to be available Hugley (knee) is expected to be available Sunday versus Alabama State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact If available, Hugley will have sat out once likely so he would receive more rest in between the Panthers' upcoming game and their matchup Nov. 16 versus Michigan. Fede Federiko is expected to be a backup again.

Blake Hinson - Another strong performance Hinson provided 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 71-67 loss to VCU.
Impact The Panthers were without John Hugley (knee) in this game, but Hinson stepped his game up and had another strong showing offensively. He's now registered at least 10 points in three of his first four contests and is putting up 15.8 points per game so far, which is an upgrade compared to the 10.1 points he averaged last season as a full-time starter for Ole Miss back in the 2019-20 campaign.

Jorge Diaz Graham - Decent output in limited minutes Diaz Graham posted 10 points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT) and five rebounds over 20 minutes during Thursday's 71-67 loss to VCU.
Impact Diaz Graham came off the bench but made the most of his minutes out there, as he based his production on volume rather than efficiency. That said, there's a chance this performance was an outlier and not the norm going forward, as he had scored a combined two points in his previous three appearances off the bench.

John Hugley - Won't play Thursday Hugley (knee) will not be available for Thursday's game against VCU, Cale Berger of 93.7 The Fan reports.
Impact Hugley made his season debut in Wednesday's blowout loss to the Wolverines but will not be available Thursday night. The 6-9 junior suffered a knee sprain in early October and may not be all the way back in game shape to play consecutive days. Fede Federiko will return to the starting five in his place, while Hugley will try to return Sunday against Alabama State.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Fede Federiko - Back in starting five Federiko is starting Thursday against VCU.
Impact Federiko came off the bench for Wednesday's game against Michigan but will reclaim his starting role with John Hurley (knee) unavailable Thursday. Over his first two starts of the year, Federiko averaged 9.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in 29.5 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
John Hugley - Not spotted in uniform in warmups Hugley (knee) was not dressed during pregame warmups ahead of Thursday's contest with VCU, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Hugley returned from a knee injury on Wednesday and had nine points in 22 minutes. It appears that the junior may have re-injured that knee and the team may elect to hold him out of the second game of the Legends Classic.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamarius Burton - Goes for 14 points Burton posted 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 91-60 loss to Michigan.
Impact Burton has been extremely consistent to start the season, as he's posted at least 10 points, five rebounds and two assists in each of his first three outings. His numbers won't be flashy, but he should deliver decent stats every time he steps on the court due to the fact that he's firmly entrenched as a starter for the Panthers.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Hinson - Scores 13 points Wednesday Hinson registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 91-60 loss to Michigan.
Impact Hinson hasn't been able to repeat the impressive performance he had in the season opener when he delivered 27 points against UT Martin, but he has scored in double digits in two of his three appearances. He should be one of Pittsburgh's main scoring threats on a regular basis.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nelly Cummings - Underperforms in loss Cummings posted four points (2-6 FG), five assists and one rebound in 28 minutes of play Wednesday in Pittsburgh's 91-60 loss to Michigan.
Impact The senior is only shooting 33 percent from the field through the first three games of the season after transferring from Colgate this summer. He also hasn't been able to rack up the numbers as he's scored in the single digits all three contests, That's surprising because he averaged 14.7 points in his final season with Colgate, and averaged double-digit points all three seasons with the Raiders. Expect more points and improvement in his field-goal percentage as he continues to get acclimated with his new team.

John Hugley - Nine points across 22 minutes Hugley supplied nine points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound and one block across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 91-60 loss to Michigan.
Impact Hugley logged a lackluster point tally while barely playing more than half of the Michigan-Pittsburgh game. But whether it was because he was returning from a injury or the game was out of reach, he did not play much Wednesday and will try to do better as this season progresses.

Vason Stevenson - Remains out Stevenson (undisclosed) did not participate in Wednesday's 91-60 loss to Michigan.
Impact It is unclear how long Stevenson will remain out while working his way back from an undisclosed injury. The freshman guard has not appeared for the Panthers so far this season. His next chance to return is not likely going to appear in the teams game tomorrow.
NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Fede Federiko - Heads to bench Federiko won't start for Pitt in their game against Michigan, Corey Crisan of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Impact Federiko put up good numbers while enjoying starter minutes, but he'll head to the bench now that John Hugley is back in the fold for the Panthers. Expect to see some rotational minutes from the big man, but a healthy Hugley should dominate minutes at the five for Pittsburgh.
NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
John Hugley - Set to make season debut Hugley is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Michigan.
Impact Hugley will make his season debut Wednesday after missing the team's first two games due to a knee injury. Pittsburgh lost last Friday's game 81-56 versus West Virginia without Hugley, so the team will need their starting big man to match up with Michigan's Hunter Dickinson.

John Hugley - Warming up early Hugley (knee) is warming up early Wednesday, according to Corey Crisan of DKPittsburghSports.com.
Impact Hugley's early warmup indicates a better chance he plays than not when the Panthers host Michigan. They have one hour to select his availability.
