RHODE ISLAND RAMS NEWS

Serious injury feared Mitchell is facing a potentially season-ending knee injury, Morey Hershgordon of WPRI 12 reports.

Impact The report cites a tweet from a private account of one of Mitchell's family members, as the school has yet to announce anything official. According to that account, Mitchell will need to undergo surgery and will be sidelined roughly 4-to-6 months. Assuming this is indeed the case, Mitchell's twin brother Makhel will be left to take on a big chunk of the post minutes, as he'll presumably be tasked with serving as the primary rim protector. Forwards such as Jermaine Harris and DJ Johnson would also stand to see a minutes increase, per Bill Koch of The Providence Journal.

Impact Russell appeared to have turned his ankle with just under a minute to go before the half and hobbled off the floor following the incident. It appears as though he's going to try and play through the pain as the Rams battle with the Hilltoppers in the second half.

Impact Russell collided with another player on a ball screen and turned his ankle with 55 seconds remaining in the first half. The Rams have already lost Makhi Mitchell (knee) due to a knee injury in the first half and can't afford to lose Russell in this game as well.

Impact Mitchell has started in four of the Rams' first six games this season but is not getting starting-caliber minutes as he's averaging 5.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game. Mitchell continues to split time with his brother Makhi Mitchell and Jermaine Harris but will get the nod Sunday against the Hilltoppers for his fifth start this season.

Should be available Sunday Harris (illness) did travel with the team for Sunday's game at Western Kentucky and should be available to come off the bench, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Harris failed to make the trip to Madison to play the Badgers on Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness as he was asked to stay at home as a precaution. The junior forward will be back with the team for Sunday's tilt and will likely revert to his backup role in the frontcourt.

Leading reserve against Badgers Carey (leg) had nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 24 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 73-62 loss to Wisconsin.

Impact Carey missed last Wednesday's contest against Seton Hall due to a leg injury, but returned to provide his second-highest minutes total of the season. He hasn't quite retained the starting spot he had over the first two games of the season, but the Syracuse transfer has still seen a much-expanded role since his days with the Orange and appears set for a sixth-man role moving forward.

Exits with apparent ankle issue Mitchell departed Wednesday's game versus Wisconsin late in the second half with an apparent leg injury, Bucky's 5th Quarter reports.

Impact The extent of Mitchell's injury remains unclear, but it seems unlikely he will rejoin the action Wednesday with very little time remaining because of it. If he avoids serious concern, Mitchell will likely be included in the starting five for Sunday's game versus Western Kentucky.

Expected to play Wednesday Carey (leg) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against Wisconsin, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Carey did not play in the team's last game due to a right leg injury. His return would give a spark to the Rhode Island backcourt against a stout Wisconsin defense. Carey started the first two games of the season, but then went for double figures in each of the following two games off the bench.

Impact The junior forward has thus far tested negative for COVID-19, but the Rams chose to have him skip the trip to Madison as a precaution. Assuming he's able to quickly move past the illness and continues to test negative, Harris could be available to play in Rhode Island's next game Sunday at Western Kentucky.
