Impact Lubin will join the Tar Heels following a single season with Vanderbilt. The former Notre Dame transfer averaged 12.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game for the Commodores this past season.

Solid performance in loss Lubin had 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's 75-60 loss to South Carolina.

Impact Lubin looked solid in Saturday's loss to South Carolina as he scored 13 points while shooting an impressive 67 percent from the field. The forward will continue to be a top scoring option as he now averages 10.2 points per game this season.

Active Saturday Lubin (groin) is not listed on Vanderbilt's injury report ahead of Saturday's showdown with Alabama, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Lubin appears set for a return Saturday after missing two of Vanderbilt's last three games. The 6-foot-8 sophomore has started in seven games this season, averaging 10.9 points and 5.4 rebounds on 25.1 minutes per game this season.

Ends up sitting Lubin (groin) ultimately did not take the court in Saturday's 69-53 victory over Dartmouth.

Impact It was reported pregame that Lubin felt ready to give it a go, but he ultimately wasn't deployed for the final game of Vanderbilt's non-conference schedule. That will hopefully give the sophomore forward enough time to rest and heal up in advance of next Saturday's SEC opener against Alabama. In his stead, Carter Lang picked up another start, with Tasos Kamateros seeing a minutes boost.

Set to attempt a return Lubin (groin) reportedly feels good enough to return to action during Saturday's matchup with Memphis, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Lubin will attempt a return against the Tigers after missing two games with a groin injury. The 6-foot-8 sophomore has averaged 12.7 points per game this season, good for second-most on the Commodores.

Out Saturday Lubin (groin) will be inactive during Saturday's showdown with Memphis, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Lubin will miss second-consecutive week with a groin injury as the Commodores face off against the Tigers. The 6-foot-8 sophomore has started in six games this season, averaging 12.7 points, six rebounds and 0.8 blocks on 27.8 minutes per game. Lubin will have his next chance to return Dec. 30, against Dartmouth.

Solid line in 2023-24 debut Lubin totaled 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 84-78 loss to North Carolina State.

Impact Lubin missed the first four games of the 2023-24 season due to a hip injury, but the Notre Dame transfer was immediately put into the starting five in his Vanderbilt debut. The results were encouraging and immediately put the 6-8 wing on the fantasy radar, as he appears in line to see a major minutes boost compared to last season with the Irish. His follow-up effort Friday against Arizona State is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

Set to play Thursday Lubin (hip) is available for Thursday's matchup against NC State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Just like Lee Dort (foot) and Tyrin Lawrence (hip), Lubin is ready to make his season debut after spending the opening weeks of the season sidelined. Lubin should provide a boost to the frontcourt after averaging 6.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game as a freshman last season.

Out vs. UNC-Greensboro Lubin (hip) is out for Vanderbilt's game Tuesday against UNC-Greensboro, according to Aria Gerson of The Tennessean.

Impact Lubin will have sat out the Vanderbilt team's first three games of its 2023-24 season. Currently, his next opportunity to play is against Central Arkansas on Friday.

NOVEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Friday Lubin (hip) won't play in Friday's game versus USC Upstate, Joey Dwyer of Vandysports.com reports.

Impact Lubin will miss his second straight game to start the season Friday due to a hip injury. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with UNC-Greensboro.

NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in opener Lubin will miss the season opener Tuesday against Presbyterian due to a hip injury, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Lubin's absence is a bit of a surprise, but it's possible it's a relatively minor issue and he's just sitting because of the opponent. Either way, Lubin will miss the opener, leaving the Commodores down some depth in the frontcourt Tuesday.

Will be occasionally used as center Lubin will be occasionally used as a small-ball center during Vanderbilt's upcoming season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Allen-Lubin usually plays power forward and stands at 6-foot-8, a bit shorter than the average center height. However, he sports a 230-pound frame that could be game against other centers with similar weight. Should the small-ball focus materialize, Allen-Lubin could get a lot more playing time, thereby having the opportunities to increase much of his stat averages.

Comes close to double-double Lubin provided 19 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 66-58 loss to Wake Forest.

Impact Lubin earned a starting role in the final weeks of the regular season but hasn't disappointed in an expanded role, scoring in double digits in four of his six outings with the first unit. He's averaging 9.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game since jumping into the starting lineup, a role he should retain in the final weeks of the regular season.

Scores in double digits again Lubin closed Tuesday's 68-64 loss to Duke with 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.

Impact Lubin played off the bench most of the season but has been trusted with a starting role in each of the team's last three contests, and he hasn't disappointed yet. He's recorded at least 10 points in each of those games while shooting 68.2 percent from the floor and 80 percent from the charity stripe, meaning he could very well remain in the starting unit when Notre Dame takes on Virginia on Saturday.

Logs 13 points, seven rebounds Lubin produced 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 70-68 loss to Georgia Tech.

Impact Lubin excelled across his first start as a collegiate athlete. Across five games during which he has played over 20 minutes, he averaged 9.6 points and 6.6 rebounds. Lubin has proven to be a promising option when assured a lot of playing time, which he may but is unlikely to get if JJ Starling continues being affected by his physical illness.

Starting Wednesday Lubin (ankle) is listed in Notre Dame's starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Georgia Tech, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.

Impact Lubin is set to make his first collegiate start in his return on Wednesday, as Notre Dame faces off with Georgia Tech. The 6-foot-8 freshman has appeared in 19 games this season, averaging 5.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks on 16.6 minutes per game.

Status trending upwards Head coach Mike Brey said that he hopes Lubin (ankle) will be able to practice Monday with the possibility of him playing Wednesday against Georgia Tech, Tom Noie of the South Bend...

Impact Lubin has missed back-to-back contests as a result of ankle/heel tendon issues, but it now sounds like there's looming optimism that the 6-foot-8 freshman will be able to suit up for Wednesday's matchup. If that's indeed the case, then his presence would provide the Fighting Irish with a solid spark off the bench.
