Liam Robbins - Out for season Robbins will miss the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign due to a leg injury.

Impact Robbins left Wednesday's win over Kentucky after just four minutes and was sporting a boot after the game.

In Robbins' absence, Quentin Millora-Brown figures to step into the starting lineup, while Malik Dia and Myles Stute are also candidates for increased roles off the bench.
