Fouls out after starting Sunday Shannon fouled out of Sunday's 72-60 loss to Ohio State after recording 10 points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes.
Impact Shannon played 29 minutes for the second game in a row following his two-game hiatus due to a concussion. While Sunday's loss marked his first game back in the starting lineup, Illinois' leading scorer logged a much rougher performance against the Buckeyes compared to Sunday's 66-62 win over Northwestern, when he put up 26 points while shooting 8-of-10 from the floor and 6-of-9 from the charity stripe. Nevertheless, Shannon's ability to log significant playing time for the second consecutive game is an encouraging sign for his availability heading into the team's final two regular-season games.

Part of starting lineup Shannon is part of Illinois' starting lineup Sunday at Ohio State, according to Joey Wagner of 247Sports.

Available but won't start Thursday Shannon is not listed in the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against Northwestern, Joey Wagner of 247Sports reports.
Impact Shannon was deemed available to play ahead of Thursday's contest after he missed two games in a row with a concussion. However, the 6-foot-6 senior, who has started all 25 of his games, is now set to come off the bench for the first time this season. Ramses Melendez will continue to start in Shannon's place Thursday.
FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Thursday Shannon (concussion) will be available for Thursday's contest against Northwestern, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Shannon will return to the court after missing back-to-back games while in concussion protocol. The 6-foot-6 senior has been the Illini's top scorer this season, averaging 17.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists while playing 31.6 minutes per contest this season. However, it's unclear if Shannon will immediately reprise his spot in the starting lineup Thursday, or if he could be in line to come off the bench during his first game back.

Remains in protocols Shannon is still in concussion protocols Wednesday but is in a practice uniform working out, Derek Piper of Rivals.com reports.
Impact Shannon's status for Thursday's game versus Northwestern is in doubt, as he has missed the previous two games while in concussion protocols. If he can't play Thursday, his next opportunity to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with Ohio State.

Out Monday Shannon (concussion) will be inactive for Monday's showdown with Minnesota, Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette reports.
Impact Shannon will remain out for the second-straight game in concussion protocol during Monday's matchup with the Gophers. The 6-foot-6 senior has started in 25 games this season, logging 17 points, five rebounds, three assists and 1.4 steals on 31.6 minutes per game. In his absence, Ramses Melendez (who started against Indiana on Saturday). will likely start.
FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Uncertain to play Monday Illinois head coach Brad Underwood said Shannon (concussion) is day-to-day heading into Monday's game against Minnesota, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Though Illinois hasn't officially ruled Shannon out ahead of Monday's 9 p.m. ET opening tip, the fact that Underwood hasn't yet confirmed that the 6-foot-6 senior wing hasn't cleared the concussion protocol doesn't offer much hope that he'll be available. Assuming Shannon sits out his second game in a row, Ramses Melendez could be in store for another start on the wing.
