Thierno Sylla - No action Thursday Sylla (undisclosed) did not take the court in Thursday's 69-56 victory over Florida A&M.
Impact Sylla had been part of a large frontcourt tandem with Omar Payne, with the duo starting each of the last 11 contests for UCF. He sat out entirely Thursday, however, as the team featured a smaller-ball lineup with DeMarr Langford returning to the starting five. Machelus Avery and Ibrahima Diallo also saw some additional run in Sylla's stead. It's unclear if the 6-11 sophomore will be cleared in advance of UCF's next game, which lands Dec. 29 against Bethune-Cookman.

Impact Previously undisclosed, Langford's back injury will make him a game-time decision again. Ideally for him, he will be available this time, unlike the last GTD before his eventual DNP of Central Florida's game Saturday against Lipscomb.

Impact The backup center has been a defensive force all season as he put up his fourth game with at least three blocks. However, on Monday Diallo double-double represented a season-high in both points and rebounds, with 6 of those boards coming on the offensive end. He's currently averaging 8 points, 6.8 boards, 1 steal and 3 blocks in 20.4 minutes per game.

Marchelus Avery - Contributes 22 off the bench Avery ended with 22 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes during Sunday's 83-80 victory over South Dakota State.
Impact In just his second game with UCF, the senior transfer from New Mexico State led the team in scoring while coming off the bench. Avery is a quality shooter from beyond the arc, shooting 41.7% last season, and should also remain a solid contributor in both scoring and rebounds no matter his role with the Knights.
