Sustains injury in second half Chatman suffered a lower body injury during the second half of Friday's loss to VCU and didn't return, Sean Paul of MakingTheMadness.com reports.
Impact The extent of Chatman's injury is unclear, and it could end his season if Dayton is not selected to make the NIT. The senior ended the night with six points (2-7 FG,1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes.

Back in starting lineup Chatman will start Friday's game against Saint Louis.
Impact Chatman played 36 minutes in his return to action Tuesday, so it seemed inevitable that he would seize back his starting role in short order. Mustapha Amzil and Elijah Weaver will move to the bench in corresponding moves for Chapman and Zimi Nowokeji, who is making his first career start.

Heavy minutes in return Chatman had seven points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four assists, three rebounds and a steal across 36 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 91-89 OT loss to Rhode Island.
Impact Chatman returned from an 11-game absence that was forced due to hand surgery, and while he wasn't in the starting five for this contest, he still played starter's minutes. Now that it's been proven he can handle a full workload -- even with some foul trouble -- look for Chatman to take over for Elijah Weaver in the near future. Weaver logged just 14 minutes in this contest and was scoreless on 0-for-5 shooting. Chatman, on the other hand, was averaging 9.6 points, 4.1 assists and 2.3 steals prior to his injury. He'll also presumably help take some of the ball-handling pressure off fellow senior Jalen Crutcher.

Active Tuesday Chatman (head) is active for Tuesday's game against Rhode Island, David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Impact Tuesday will mark the first time Chatman will be able to play since Dec. 30, as the senior underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right hand in January. Across six outings this season, Chatman is averaging 10.0 points and 4.2 assists.

Sidelined 6-to-8 weeks Chatman will miss between six and eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right hand.
Impact Chatman has played a major part in the Flyers' backcourt early in 2020-21, averaging 10.0 points, 4.2 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 steals over 33.7 minutes per contest in the first six games. Koby Brea has joined the starting five over the last two games as a result and figures to continue in that role moving forward.

Dealing with apparent hand issue Chatman (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against George Mason, David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Impact Dayton is starting freshman Koby Brea in place of Chatman, who was seen with a brace or splint on his right hand during warmups. Chatman has not been officially ruled out, but dropping out of the starting lineup suggests his minutes could be scaled back significantly.

Five steals against Ole Miss Chatman had a season-high 21 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five steals, four assists and two rebounds Saturday against Mississippi.
Impact Chatman has now scored 36 points over his last two games after just 20 point in his first three combined. He's been useful across the board to date, four times handing out four or more assists while collecting 12 steals in five games. If the offense continues, he'll be an intriguing A-10 add.
