Jordan McCabe - Plays 17 minutes McCabe (back) supplied four points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 69-59 win over Wyoming.
Impact If McCabe latest log is any indication, he will continue operating as a backup option for the Rebels. But unlike most backups, McCabe's upside is greater than most because of his allotted playing time. He averaged 23.1 minutes across his first eight games of 2023.

Victor Iwuakor - Does not practice Iwuakor did not practice on Monday, according to Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun.
Impact UNLV's head coach Kevin Kruger said Iwuakor not practicing was precautionary. So because of an undisclosed injury, his availability status will be questionable before the team is scheduled to play at Wyoming on Wednesday.
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan McCabe - Returns to practice McCabe (back) was active during practice on Monday, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact McCabe, who has missed the last two games with a back injury, was able to participate in practice on Monday. The 6-foot senior has appeared in 20 games this season, logging 6.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, two assists and 0.8 steals on 17.9 minutes per game. McCabe will likely remain a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup with Wyoming.

Isaiah Cottrell - Still dealing with foot injury Cottrell (foot) didn't play in Friday's 82-79 loss to Fresno State.
Impact Cottrell has yet to play since Nov. 26 due to a foot injury. His next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Wyoming, although there is no indication of his return timetable.

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Webster - Coming off bench Webster will play a reserve role in Friday's game against Fresno State.
Impact Webster scored a season-high 17 points in UNLV's previous game, so this move is somewhat surprising. Sixth-man Luis Rodriguez will start in his place. It is unclear if this move is just matchup based or not.
FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Rodriguez - Starting Friday Rodriguez is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Fresno State.
Impact Rodriguez will move from sixth man to starter, so he should see a slight uptick in minutes. As a result, Justin Webster will come off the bench. It is unclear if the team is doing this as a one-time, matchup based decision, or something they plan on sticking with going forward.
FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan McCabe - Warming up Friday McCabe (back) warmed up with the team prior to Friday's game against Fresno State, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Jordan McCabe - Day-to-day with back injury McCabe (back) is listed as day-to-day ahead of Friday's matchup with Fresno State, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact McCabe, who missed Tuesday's matchup with Colorado State, is questionable to suit up for Friday's game against Fresno State, as he deals with a back injury. The 6-foot senior has appeared in 20 games this season, logging 6.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, two assists and 0.8 steals on 17.9 minutes per game.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan McCabe - Absent from warmups McCabe (undisclosed) isn't warming up with the team ahead of Tuesday's game versus Colorado State, Paloma Villicana of Fox 5 Vegas reports.
Impact McCabe will likely miss his first game since Nov. 18 on Tuesday. The 6-foot guard's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Fresno State.
JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Rodriguez - Present for warmups Tuesday Rodriguez (leg) is warming up ahead of Tuesday's game at Colorado State, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Rodriguez has been considered day-to-day with a leg injury that kept him sidelined for the Running Rebels' previous two games. The 6-foot-6 senior was also able to warm up before ultimately sitting out Saturday's win against Nevada, so it's still possible he could do the same following UNLV's quick turnaround into Tuesday's contest. Rodriguez has averaged 12.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.2 steals across 19 starts this season.

Justin Webster - Season-high 17 points in win Webster closed Saturday's 68-62 victory over Nevada with 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes.
Impact The senior marked a season-high 17 points and did so shooting an efficient 54.5 percent from the field. The guard was nearly automatic from beyond the arc as well, knocking down five three-point shots out of the eight taken. Webster has been streaky this season, but a season-high may have sparked more offense moving forward.
