Returns to action Waardenburg closed Wednesday's 88-87 victory over Syracuse with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 29 minutes.

Impact Waardenburg (illness) returned to action Wednesday night and helped propel Miami to a narrow victory over Syracuse. The 6-foot-10 senior is currently averaging 7.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 26.9 minutes per game this season. Miami will head to Cameron Indoor Stadium next week to take on the second ranked Duke Blue Devils.

Cleared for Wednesday Miami head coach Jim Larranaga said Waardenburg (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against Syracuse, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Waardenburg hasn't played since Dec. 20 while he was following COVID-19 protocols after testing positive for the virus. The 6-foot-10, 225-pound big man might not be fully conditioned yet after missing time, so he may not get the 26.8 minutes per game he's averaging for the season in his first contest back in action.

Could be available Wednesday Miami is hopeful that Waardenburg (illness) will complete his 10-day isolation window Tuesday and be available for Wednesday's game against Syracuse, Tim Reynolds of The Associated...

Impact Waardenburg has missed the Hurricanes' last two games after testing positive for the virus just over a week ago. Assuming he isn't still symptomatic when his 10-day window ends Tuesday, he should practice later that day. If all goes well in his return to the court, Waardenburg could then step back into his usual starting role in the frontcourt Wednesday, though head coach Jim Larranaga may look to keep the 6-foot-10 big man's minutes in check.

Not playing Saturday Waardenburg (COVID-19) is out for Saturday's game against Wake Forest, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Waardenburg didn't face NC State earlier this week and remains in the COVID-19 protocols, so he's set to miss a second straight game. The big man is averaging 7.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest so far. His next chance to play will come against Syracuse on Jan. 5.
