Jailen Bedford - Returns to action Bedford (undisclosed) returned to Wednesday's game against Air Force in the second half, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Bedford left the contest in the first half with roughly six minutes left before halftime, but he returned to action in the second half and made some big shots for the Rebels. He should continue to handle a steady workload on offense as long as he stays healthy.

Jailen Bedford - Goes to locker room Wednesday Bedford went to the locker room during the first half of Wednesday's game against Air Force with an undisclosed injury, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Bedford went to the locker room straight away with roughly six minutes left in the first half, and his absence could turn into a bigger problem for UNLV. The Rebels don't have other scholarship guards available on the bench.

Julian Rishwain - Out against Air Force Rishwain (foot) will not appear in Wednesday's game against Air Force, Steve Cofield of ESPN reports.
Impact Rishwain, who was spotted on crutches following Friday's loss against New Mexico will be inactive as UNLV opens the Mountain West tournament against Air Force. The 6-foot-6 senior, who is averaging 9.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals on 30.4 minutes per game, will have his next chance to return against Utah State this Thursday if the Running Rebels advance.

Julian Rishwain - Spotted on walking boot Rishwain (foot) was spotted in a walking boot and using crutches after exiting Friday's game against New Mexico, Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports.
Impact Rishwain finished the contest with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist. His status for the Rebels' upcoming games should be uncertain, but it wouldn't be surprising if he has to spend time on the sidelines.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Dedan Thomas - Remains out Thomas (shoulder) remains sidelined for UNLV as the final regular season game approaches, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Thomas has missed the last four games for the Runnin' Rebels, and it looks as if he'll miss the final five to close out the regular season. The freshman guard, who averages 15.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists this season, will look to return for the Mountain West Tournament, which tips off on March 9.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Rob Whaley - Practices, status remains uncertain Whaley (back) is back at practice for UNLV but there's no update on his status, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Whaley's return to practice is a good sign overall, but it doesn't appear to have much bearing on his availability for the Runnin' Rebels' final regular season game against New Mexico on March 7. The senior hasn't played since the second game of the season, so re-integrating him back into the swing of things may be a tall task at this juncture.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jace Whiting - Back at practice Whiting (foot) is back at practice for the Runnin' Rebels, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Despite Whiting's return to the practice court, there's still reportedly no update on his availability for UNLV's final regular-season game against New Mexico on March 7. Still, it's obviously a good sign for the guard's status moving forward, and any postseason action the Runnin' Rebels might take part in.
