VANDERBILT COMMODORES NEWS

Gabe Dorsey - Starting Saturday Dorsey is among the starters for Saturday's game versus Austin Peay.

Impact Dorsey hasn't played more than 12 minutes in a game thus far and tallied just four minutes in the team's previous contest, so his inclusion in the starting lineup is a bit of a surprise. He could see an expanded role Saturday as a result.

Jamaine Mann - Starting Saturday Mann is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Austin Peay.

Impact Mann will be making his first start of the season and his first-career start for the Commodores as he enters the starting five in place of Tyrin Lawrence. The 6-6 sophomore has seen solid usage off the bench so far this year, averaging 6.2 points and 5.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per contest. Head coach Jerry Stackhouse could be trying to get a look at some other guys against an inferior opponent in Austin Peay, so it's possible Mann could return to coming off the bench next week when the team plays Hawaii.

Rodney Chatman - Looks set for season debut Chatman (knee) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Austin Peay and appears set for his season debut, Robbie Weinstein of 247Sports reports.

Impact Chatman was targeting a debut before the end of the month and has hit that goal with time to spare. Assuming he's back in action as expected, the senior guard should get to games under his belt before the calendar flips to 2022. Chatman is expected to play roughly around 15 minutes but figures to gradually increase his participation level after missing a large period of time due to a knee injury.

Scotty Pippen - Leading scorer in defeat Pippen posted 23 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 69-58 loss to Loyola Chicago.

Impact Pippen has been playing through an illness of late, but it hasn't forced him to miss any game action just yet. While all his shooting percentages are currently down a bit from his remarkable 2020-21 season that saw him average 20.8 ppg, Pippen remains an elite fantasy asset due to his high-volume contributions across the board, which should only get better as he fully regains his health.
