Playing through thigh knot Mark has been playing through hardened tissue in his thigh area, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact It sounds like this is primarily a pain management issue, as Mark continues to practice and start games for the Cougars. It does, however, offer a potential explanation as to why a player who had been averaging 27.4 mpg saw those minutes slightly reduced, logging 21 and 20 minutes in matchups against McNesse and Tulsa, respectively. Both games were thoroughly-lopsided affairs, so it makes sense for Mark to see a bit more rest, but it sounds like he'll be in the clear when AAC play heats up.

Sidelined Wednesday Mark (shoulder) will not play Wednesday against Texas State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact This was expected after it was announced Tuesday that Mark would be out indefinitely due to his shoulder injury. Houston has two games in the next week, and it's unlikely that he'll be able to return during that stretch.

Modest output in return Mark (shoulder) chipped in five points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 70-52 victory over Butler.

Impact Mark doesn't quite seem to be at 100 percent just yet given his limited minutes, but it's also possible coach Kelvin Sampson is looking to conserve him given Monday was just the beginning of a multi-day tournament. Still, it appears as if Mark has gained at least a minimal level of clearance and should be available when the undefeated Cougars take on Wisconsin on Tuesday. It shouldn't be much longer before Mark makes a serious bid for a spot in the starting lineup, especially considering his production last year (7.8 ppg, 3.0 rpg) and the large amount of roster turnover the program has experienced.
