Scores 22 points in return Justice posted 22 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes in Thursday's 95-86 victory over Portland.

He showed no signs of rust in his return, draining a season-high five three-pointers to lead the Broncos in scoring during the conference tournament opener. Justice has shot the ball well during conference play - connecting on 38 percent of his attempts from deep.

Nearly misses double-double Vrankic recorded 26 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 86-82 victory over Pepperdine.

Impact Vrankic tied a game-high with 26 points on an efficient 50 percent shooting, coming up one board shy of what would've been his seventh double-double of the season. After a slow start to the season, Vrankic is coming alive as of late with 24+ points in three of his last four games. He's shooting 55 percent over that stretch, up from 43 percent on the season.

Remains in concussion protocol Justice didn't take the floor again Thursday as he continues to work his way through concussion protocol.

Impact Justice's absence doesn't appear to be related to the COVID-19 pause the team was recently on, but he is dealing with a concussion, which can have varying lengths of recovery time. His next chance to take the floor arrives Saturday versus Pepperdine.
