Jalen Hill - Spotted on crutches Hill was spotted using crutches to get around after leaving Saturday's game and may be done for the day, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact On a positive note, Hill has returned to the bench, which is better than if he couldn't do that. Despite that, the fact that Hill needs crutches to get around suggests the injury is a new one and unrelated to the wrist issue that cost him some time previously. The extent of his new issue is unclear at this juncture, but Hill registered six points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal prior to his departure.

Jalen Hill - Good to go Hill (wrist) will start Saturday's game against San Diego State.

Impact Hill took part in warmups but wasn't initially listed in the starting unit. The updated starting five includes the senior, who is averaging 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals over 32.5 minutes in his six appearances this season for the Runnin' Rebels.

Jalen Hill - Slated to return Saturday Hill (wrist) is dressed and warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus San Diego State, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Hill indicated earlier in the week he was feeling 100 percent healthy, and it appears he's back in the mix for the Runnin' Rebels after more than a month on the sidelines. Given that a wrist was the reason for his absence, Hill's conditioning shouldn't be a major issue.

Jalen Hill - Feels 100 percent Hill (wrist) said he feels like he "can play at 100 percent" when asked about his availability for UNLV's game Saturday at San Diego State, according to Andy Yamashita of the Las V...

Impact Hill's personal statement is a positive, considering he has been out "a while" (exactly a month now) due to his injured wrist. However, him feeling 100 percent does not mean he is such going into UNLV's game against the reigning Mountain West Conference champions. Head coach Kevin Kruger said "we'll see" about Hill being available, making it a safe bet to assume him questionable for Saturday.

Shane Nowell - Set to make season debut Saturday Nowell (foot) will be available to face St. Mary's (CAL) on Saturday, Steve Cofield of ESPN Las Vegas reports.

Impact This is huge news for the Rebels, as Nowell was not close to returning only a few weeks ago, but he has recovered quicker than expected from the foot injury that has kept him sidelined all season long. Nowell averaged 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game across 18 appearances last season.

Keylan Boone - Eligibility prospects have new life Boone's eligibility prospects for the 2023-24 season could change in the near future, as the NCAA said Wednesday that it would no longer prevent multi-time undergrad athletes from...

Impact This has the potential to be a massive ruling for Boone and the long list of other athletes in his situation who had still been waiting on an eligibility ruling for the 2023-24 season. Given Boone has played in over 100 collegiate games and posted averages of 13.9 points and 4.2 rebounds last season with Pacific, the fifth-year senior should have no problem cracking Nevada's rotation once the school is confident in his clearance. It's unclear, however, if that will come before Wednesday's showdown against Creighton.
