VICTOR IWUAKOR NEWS

Likely to play Wednesday Iwuakor (arm) practiced in full Tuesday and will likely suit up for Wednesday's game versus Seattle, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Iwuakor has yet to make his debut since transferring to UNLV from Oklahoma during the offseason but appears to be nearing that date. Barring a setback, he will likely receive some minutes against Seattle. Iwuakor could find his way into considerable playing time given his previous location and shouldn't have too many issues with conditioning given where the injury was located.

Making progress Iwuakor (arm) was spotted warming up but did not see the court in Saturday's 83-62 loss to San Francisco.

Impact Iwuakor has been tending to an arm injury that has so far held him out of the first nine games of the season for the Rebels, but his presence in Saturday's warmups is certainly a good sign for his eventual return. The Oklahoma transfer expected to see his role grow with the move to the Mountain West, especially on a UNLV team in need of frontcourt depth. While Texas transfer Royce Hamm has seemingly locked down the center spot with Donovan Williams serving as the primary power forward, look for Iwuakor to break into the mix when healthy.

No timetable for a return Iwuakor (arm) did not practice Tuesday and remains without a timeline to return to the floor, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Iwuakor has yet to suit up this season and it remains unclear when the 6-7 junior could make his debut. The team still has two more games this week but it seems unlikely he will be able to play. Assuming that's the case Iwuakor will try to return at some point in December.

Sidelined once again Iwuakor missed his fifth consecutive game Sunday against Wichita State.

Impact Given Iwuakor was a rotation player at a power five school in Oklahoma prior to heading out west, one would think he'd be getting minutes for the Rebels if healthy. Instead, Donovan Williams (10.8 ppg, 4.0 rpg) has been serving as the primary power forward, and may continue to do so even after Iwuakor is cleared.

Not starting Sunday Iwuakor (arm) isn't starting Sunday's game against Wichita State.

Impact UNLV hasn't yet announced whether Iwuakor will be available to make his season debut against the Shockers, but his absence from the starting five isn't encouraging. Donovan Williams will draw another start.

Not warming up Monday Iwuakor (arm) isn't warming up prior to Monday's game against North Dakota State, Tyler Bischoff of The Offensive reports.

Impact It appears that the Rebels will be without Iwuakor once again, as the junior wasn't out with the team during warmups. The forward is currently dealing with a lingering arm injury and has yet to make his season debut.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing against California Iwuakor (arm) is not playing Saturday against California, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Iwuakor missed the season opener against Gardner Webb and his status hasn't changed for this one. His next chance to feature will come next Monday against North Dakota State, but it remains to be seen whether he'll make progress in his recovery or not.

Unlikely to face Gardner Webb Iwuakor (arm) is unlikely to play Wednesday against Gardner Webb, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Iwuakor did not practice on Tuesday and it is expected that Josh Baker could see a bigger role if Iwauakor is unable to go. The Oklahoma transfer should see a sizable role for UNLV this season once healthy.

Starting Saturday Iwuakor is making his first career start Saturday against West Virginia, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Iwuakor enters the starting lineup in place of Kur Kuath who had started in each of the Sooners' first seven games this season. The 6-7 sophomore has averaged 7.8 points and five rebounds in 16.8 minutes per game thus far and will have a chance to improve those marks and make an argument to stick in the starting unit moving forward.

Will be available Wednesday Iwuakor (undisclosed) will be available Wednesday against Cincinnati, Toby Rowland of T-Row in the Morning Show reports.

Impact Iwuakor has been out for the first two games due to COVID-19 protocols. He has only gotten two practices under his belt, so it's hard to say how much of a role he will play in this contest. Iwaukor may challenge for a starting spot later in the season.

Missing more action Coach Lon Kruger said Sunday that Iwuakor (undisclosed) will not play in Sunday's game against TCU, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

The sophomore averaged 2.6 points and 2.3 boards across 26 games last season, and was in line for a rotational role this season. Iwuakor's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's game against Xavier.
