Keonte Kennedy - Considered week-to-week Head coach Joe Golding indicated Tuesday that Kennedy (foot) is considered week-to-week and suggested "it's going to be a while" before he can retake the floor, Adrian Broaddus of...
Impact After reportedly suffering a foot injury in the final two minutes of the Dec. 22 clash with Bradley, Kennedy missed the previous game and looks to be headed for some more. It doesn't sound like he's slated to return in the near future, so a return in the back half of January may be the most optimistic timeline at this point. Prior to his foot issue, the sophomore was averaging 13.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.0 steals over 34.0 minutes per game in his 12 appearances, so his absence will certainly put a big dent in the usual rotation.

Michael Ertel had a season-high 25 points as UAB defeated UTEP 75-62DECEMBER 31, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tydus Verhoeven - Logs 17 minutes off bench Verhoeven (concussion) finished with six points (3-6 FG), seven rebounds and a steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's 75-62 loss to UAB.
Impact Verhoeven missed three consecutive games due to a concussion but was finally able to return for the first time since Dec. 12. The 6-9 junior started the first seven games of the year but came off the bench in two consecutive before sustaining a concussion. For now, Verhoeven will operate as a backup to Kevin Kalu but he and Kalu are still expected to see a relatively even split in minutes.

Keonte Kennedy - Misses action with foot injury Kennedy did not play Thursday against UAB due to a foot injury, Adrian Broaddus of 600 ESPN El Paso reports.
Impact Kennedy apparently suffered the injury with two minutes remaining in the game against Bradley on Dec. 22. The 6-5 sophomore is the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 13.9 points to go along with 5.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 34 minutes per game. It's unclear how long he's expected to be out but he represents a massive loss for the Miners. Jamari Sibley is expected to step into a larger role with Kennedy out.

Impact Boum missed Tuesday's game against NC Central with food poisoning, but he returned in this one and delivered a strong effort. The junior has started regularly this season and should move back to the starting five sooner than later.

Alfred Hollins - Logs 18 minutes in return Hollins (illness) registered four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and a steal across 18 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss against Bradley.
Impact Hollins returned from a one-game absence but reverted to his usual bench role, as he's started in just three of UTEP's 12 games this season. The senior is averaging just 4.2 points across 15.4 minutes per game, so his availability shouldn't impact many fantasy rosters.
