Starting in season opener Hill (knee) is listed amongst UNLV's starting five ahead of Monday's opener against Alabama State, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Hill will get the start for UNLV after suffering a season-ending injury in January. The 6-foot-6 senior started in seven games last season, averaging 10.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals on 29.9 minutes per game. Hill got out to a fast start last season before suffering a season-ending knee injury, and now it's time to see what the senior has left in the tank.

Out for season opener Thomas (ankle) will not appear in UNLV's season opener against Alabama State on Nov. 4, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Thomas suffered a rolled ankle according to head coach Kevin Kruger and the sophomore guard has been spotted in a boot this week at practice. The 6-foot-1 sophomore was electric in his freshman season with the program, tallying 13.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.9 steals on 34.9 minutes per game. Thomas will have his next opportunity to return Nov. 9, against Memphis, and either Jace Whiting or Brooklyn Hicks are likely to start in his place in the interim.

Sits out Monday practice Whaley sat out UNLV's team practice Monday due to a back injury, per Mike Grimala of The Las Vegas Sun.
Impact UNLV's 2024-25 team logged its first practice together Monday, and Whaley was not a participant then. Not much has been publicized about the injury other than that it concerns his back. At the very least, Whaley has over a month to recover before the 2024-25 Rebels begin their regular season.

Dressed but sits out practice Hill (knee) was dressed for UNLV's team practice Monday but sat out then, according to Mike Grimala of The Las Vegas Sun.
Impact UNLV's 2024-25 team began its preseason practice Monday. Despite more than eight months passing since he suffered his knee injury, Hill sat out Monday. But with him dressed, perhaps the redshirt senior is inching closer to being available. Fortunately for him, there is still more than a month before the 2024-25 Rebels begin their regular season.

Fully cleared Thomas (wrist) is fully cleared for basketball-related activities, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact After undergoing wrist surgery earlier during the offseason, Thomas is ready for his sophomore effort with UNLV's basketball program. The guard's first was an electric campaign that saw him average 13.6 points and 5.1 assists across 34 games he started. Averaging over 10 points and five assists as a regular starter is insane production, something to be expected once again during his second season.
