Drake Allen - Remains out against UtahAllen (ankle) is out for Saturday's game versus Utah but has shedded his walking boot, Nathan Dunn of UVU Review reports.
ImpactAllen's absence streak will extend to three games Saturday. However, the removal of his boot is a good sign that he is nearing a return. Allen's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Liberty.

Deivon Smith - Dressed and set for debutSmith (waiver) is dressed and ready to make his season debut Saturday versus Utah Valley, Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ImpactSmith is one of a mass of players who benefit from the NCAA's decision not to enforce waivers any longer following a legal decision earlier in the week. Smith is eligible to make his season debut Saturday as a result, joining the mix after he posted 8.0 points, 5.6 boards and 3.7 assists per game last year at Georgia Tech. Smith will likely be a regular in the rotation moving forward.
