Out vs. Pepperdine
Whaley (back) is out against Pepperdine on Wednesday, Callie Fin of the Callie Lawson-Freeman of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Impact
Whaley missed the Rebels' last game against Omaha. He played a combined 23 minutes in UNLV's previous two games as a backup forward. His next chance to suit up will come on Nov. 23 against New Mexico State.

Not playing Thursday
Whaley is out for Thursday's game against Omaha due to a back injury, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact
Grimala's report mentioned that Whaley's been dealing with a nagging back injury since preseason. He's played 23 minutes total in the first two games and now will be forced to sit. For now, he should be evaluated on a game-to-game basis until the team gives further clarity on a return.

Efficient seven points
Whaley (back) ended Monday's 93-79 win over Alabama State with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 14 minutes.
Impact
Whaley was somewhat limited with 14 minutes, but his seven points on three shots were highly efficient. He'll look to return in a bigger capacity against Memphis come Saturday.

Warmed up, not starting
Whaley (back) is not included in the starting rotation for Monday's game against Alabama State, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact
Whaley was observed going through warmups so could be coming off the bench if he's active. The senior forward will be replaced by D.J. Thomas in the starting five.

Sits out Monday practice
Whaley sat out UNLV's team practice Monday due to a back injury, per Mike Grimala of The Las Vegas Sun.
Impact
UNLV's 2024-25 team logged its first practice together Monday, and Whaley was not a participant then. Not much has been publicized about the injury other than that it concerns his back. At the very least, Whaley has over a month to recover before the 2024-25 Rebels begin their regular season.

Will be available Tuesday
Whaley (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game against Wyoming, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact
The junior will be able to play after being listed as a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's game against Wyoming. This is great news for UNLV as the forward is averaging 7.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game this season.

Suffers ankle injury
Whaley suffered an ankle injury during UNLV's game Saturday against Colorado State, according to Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun.
Impact
The expectation is that Whaley receives an X-ray for his injured ankle sometime Sunday. Whaley's absence would be a significant blow to UNLV, already dealing with a season-ending injury to Jalen Hill (knee) and a team that recently benefited from Whaley's promotion to starter. Excluding the game Whaley got injured in, he is averaging 11.9 points and 4.9 rebounds as a starter.
