Not playing Wednesday Worster (lower leg) will not play in Wednesday's game against Washington State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Worster will miss his fourth straight game with a lower leg injury.

Utah plays again on Saturday against Washington.

Out vs. Oregon Worster (lower leg) is out for Utah's game Sunday against Oregon, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Worster will log his third consecutive DNP because of his lower-leg injury. Once again, Deivon Smith is expected to be part of Utah's starting lineup, especially after he recorded 30 rebounds and 19 assists across his last two games.

Impact Worster notching six steals should be viewed as an aberration since he's averaged just 0.9 steals per game across his first three collegiate seasons. Nonetheless, his facilitating prowess and central role offensively makes him capable of relevant fantasy production if the scoring can be consistent.
