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. Smith's excellence could affect Worster's usage rate down the line, so it would be much more assuring he can return when the Utes play at Washington State on Wednesday.
