Michael Steadman - Scores 10 in 2021-22 debutSteadman notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 92-81 victory over UMass Lowell.
ImpactSteadman missed the first six games of the season while tending to an unspecified issue, though it may have been related to eligibility given that this is the 6-10 forward's third collegiate team. He now appears to be in the clear and could serve as one of the top frontcourt reserves -- that is, if he doesn't get a chance to crack the starting five.

Noah Fernandes - DNP against River HawksFernandes (undisclosed) did not take the court in Wednesday's 92-81 victory over UMass-Lowell.
ImpactWith Fernandes sidelined, Rich Kelly took over as the primary ball handler while T.J. Weeks moved back into the starting five. Considering Fernandes had started every prior game this season, he'll presumably return to the lineup once he's cleared. His next chance will be Saturday against Rutgers.

T.J. Weeks - Back in starting fiveWeeks is among the starters for Wednesday's game against UMass-Lowell.

Noah Fernandes - Will not start WednesdayFernandes (undisclosed) will not start Wednesday against UMass-Lowell.
ImpactFernandes was able to go through warmups, so it's unclear if will indeed be available off the bench or not. T.J. Weeks will get the start at point in his place.

Noah Fernandes - Going through warmupsFernandes (undisclosed) is going through warmups ahead of Wednesday's game against UMass-Lowell, Kyle Grabowski of the Daily Hampshire Gazette reports.
ImpactFernandes is slated to be a game-time decision, so his participation in this warmup is key. The 6-1 guard has averaged 17.8 points, 3.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.8 steals this season, so if he is unable to go that would be a massive loss.
