Returns to the court Ngom (knee) is back on the court after being helped off the floor earlier in the game, Curt Weiler of the Tallahassee Democrat reports.

Impact Ngom started the last two games and has been playing well so it was scary to see him being helped off the court, so his return to the court so soon is a welcome surprise. His return suggests that the knee issue isn't as bad as initially believed.

Helped off floor Ngom was helped off the floor during Saturday's game against Wake Forest due to an apparent knee injury, Rivals.com reports.

Impact Ngom has moved into the starting unit over the past two games due to multiple injuries in the frontcourt. The senior big man has now suffered an injury of his own, appearing to bang knees with another player, which would leave an already tattered Florida State rotation in even more trouble. He should be considered questionable to return at this juncture, having picked up a foul while posting no other stats in his brief action.

Joins starting unit Ngom will start Saturday's game against Virginia Tech.

Impact Ngom is one of three players joining the starting unit Saturday with numerous players likely unavailable for the Noles. He hasn't played more than 14 minutes in a contest this season, even as a starter, but could be in line to challenge that given the limited available players.

Returns to action Tuesday Ngom (knee) had zero points and one rebound in one minute during Tuesday's 79-78 OT win against Duke.

Impact Ngom had been sidelined since late November by a right knee strain, but he returned to the court for Florida State on Tuesday, albeit in a limited role. He averaged 3.8 points and 2.5 assists in 11.0 minutes over his first four appearances of the season (including two starts), and he may have a hard time cracking the rotation with Florida State fully in the middle of the conference schedule.

Going through warmups Ngom (knee) is participating in early warmups for Tuesday's game against Duke, Curt Weiler of the Tallahassee Democrat reports.

Impact Ngom has been sidelined by the knee injury since late November, but it appears he's closing in on his return to game action. It remains to be seen if he's available for Tuesday's contest, and he figures to have some workload limitations once cleared given the long layoff.

Facing six-week absence Coach Leonard Hamilton said Friday that Ngom (knee) is in a cast and is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks, Andre Fernandez of the Tallahassee Democrat reports.

Impact It was already known Ngom was facing a multi-week absence, but he's now set to be out until at least mid-January. John Butler started in his place Tuesday and should see increased run moving forward, and Malik Osborne should also see more opportunities at center for Florida State.

Looking at multi-week absence Ngom (knee) expects to be sidelined until ACC play, Ben Meyerson of FSView Sports reports.

Impact This timeline, which was also reported by Rivals, will leave the 7-2 senior sidelined until late-December, at best. He had just stepped into the starting five and remained there for the last three games, though he still only averaged 12.0 mpg over that stretch. In his absence, look for Malik Osborne to see extended run at the five, with Naheem McLeod (ankle) and Quincy Ballard representing other big bodies that could work in when called upon.

Will miss Tuesday's game Ngom will be out for Tuesday's game against Purdue with a right knee strain, Andre Fernandez of the Tallahassee Democrat reports.

Impact Ngom was one of three Seminoles ruled out for their ACC/Big 10 Challenge along with RayQuan Evans (personal) and Naheem McLeod (ankle). It's unclear how much time Ngom will miss with the Seminoles next game on Saturday against Syracuse.

Solid output as starter Ngom chipped in 10 points (5-6 FG), four rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes during Sunday's 73-45 win over Loyola Marymount.

Impact Ngom was one of the best players in a game where the Seminoles dominated the game from start to finish, missing just one shot from the field and looking quite productive. That said, he hasn't been very effective in most games and doesn't hold a lot of upside as a result.

Draws start Sunday Ngom will start Sunday against Loyola Marymount.

Impact Ngom returned from a concussion to play eight minutes off the bench during Wednesday's win over Tulane. The 7-foot-2 center will draw his first college start, and Wyatt Wilkes will move to the bench. In 23 appearances last season, Ngom averaged 2.4 points and 1.7 rebounds across 6.5 minutes per game.

Logs seven minutes in return Ngom (concussion) chipped in three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds in eight minutes during Wednesday's 59-54 victory over Tulane.

Impact Ngom did not suit up in either of the season's first two games while working his way back from a concussion, but he was one of few reserve frontcourt options to see the floor Wednesday in a contest that was surprisingly close. Malik Osborne remains the primary center in coach Leonard Hamilton's lineup, but it looks like Ngom will be called upon when more size is needed. A telling sign of that is that fellow seven-footer Naheem McLeod -- who saw action in the first two games -- did not get off the bench for this contest.

Warming up Wednesday Ngom (concussion) is in uniform and participating in warmups ahead of Wednesday's game against Tulane, Brett Nevitt of SB Nation reports.

Impact Ngom missed the first two games of the season with a concussion, but he may make his season debut Wednesday. The big man averaged 2.4 points and 1.7 rebound in 6.5 minutes for Florida State last year.

Briefly gets into game Saturday Ngom (undisclosed) played one minute in Saturday's 78-70 loss to UNC.

Impact Ngom was initially a game-time call for Saturday's meeting with the Tar Heels and ended up entering the game in the first half. The 7-2 senior unfortunately picked up two quick fouls and had to be taken out and did not end up being put back in. Ngom averages just 2.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 6.3 minutes per game as he'll continue to play a depth role in the frontcourt behind Malik Osborne and Balsa Koprivica.

Warming up Saturday Ngom (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against North Carolina, Austin Veazey of NoleGameday reports.

Impact Ngom is a game-time decision Saturday after missing Wednesday's game due to a nagging injury. While it's not yet clear whether he'll ultimately be able to play against the Tar Heels, his participation in pregame warmups is certainly an encouraging sign.

FEBRUARY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Saturday Ngom (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game at North Carolina, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Ngom didn't play against Miami on Wednesday and it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to take the court or not for this one. If he does play, his upside won't be very high -- he's yet to score in double digits this season and has played 10 or more minutes just twice all year long.

FEBRUARY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Held out with nagging issue Ngom didn't play Wednesday against Miami due to a nagging injury, Rivals.com reports.

Impact Ngom is expected to be back soon, so the issue appears to be a minor one for senior big man, who averages 6.7 minutes per game off the bench. His next opportunity to don the Seminoles' uniform arrives Saturday at North Carolina.

To play Saturday Ngom didn't play in Tuesday's game against Georgia Tech but plans to return in time for Saturday's contest against Central Florida, Curt Weiler of the Tallahassee Democrat reports.

Impact It's unknown why exactly Ngom was unavailable for Tuesday's contest. However, the senior center should be back and ready to play if needed against Central Florida on Saturday.
