Dealing with apparent thumb injuryDaly didn't play Wednesday against VCU due to an apparent thumb injury, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

ImpactDaly was seen with a cast on his left hand, and the television broadcast noted the thumb details. Head coach Billy Lange declined to provide any additional details or a timeline for Daly's return. The Hawks play four games between now and January 12 before having a reasonable five-day layoff. Daly can be considered day-to-day, but owners should prepare to be without him for more than just this outing. Dahmir Bishop led the Hawks in scoring here, and could have some short-term appeal in Daly's absence.

Hangs 20 on RamsBishop had a season-high 20 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds Wednesday against VCU.

ImpactBishop saw a slight uptick in usage with Ryan Daly (undisclosed) absent. He's scored in double-digits in four of six, but isn't providing much peripherally to offer immediate fantasy appeal.

Four steals highlights diverse lineBaldwin had a season and career-high 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four steals and an assist Tuesday against St. Joseph's.

ImpactA different line for the freshman, as his scoring wasn't robust but a new high for him, but it was a rare time where he struggled to facilitate, as it was a season-low in dimes. He's had multiple steals in all but two games and his value remains in the 5.2 apg and 2.1 spg he's currently averaging.

Season-high 17 points WednesdayWilliams had a season-high 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals Wednesday against St. Joseph's.

ImpactWilliams has moved into the starting rotation over the last six games, and has now scored in double-digits in his last four while always pulling down at least six boards and chipping in two or more assists. He's clearly emerged as a fantasy option, and should be added where available.

Logs five minutesDouglass made his 2020-21 debut in Wednesday's loss to VCU, logging four points (4-4 FT) in five minutes off the bench.

ImpactDouglas missed the first five games of the season with an unspecified injury, but he's back for his first action of the season after appearing in 32 games (22 starts) for the Hawks last season. It seems the junior might be brought back conservatively, as his five minutes on the court was fewer than any game he appeared in during the 2019-20 campaign.
