Wesley Yates - Likely available for season opener Yates (foot) is expected to be available for Washington's game Monday against Bellarmine, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Yates suffered from a foot injury during Washington's 2023 preseason. Fortunately for the Huskies freshman, he is expected to be available and could log his collegiate debut when they host Bellarmine.

Braxton Meah - Probable for season opener Meah (ankle) is expected to be available for Washington's game Monday against Bellarmine, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Fortunately for Washington, the team is expected to have its starting center available Monday. While limited preseason preparation could prevent Meah from maximizing his output early, he should shine a lot this coming season. The college senior averaged 8.8 points on a 70.6 field goal percentage and 7.2 rebounds across 31 of 32 games played during Washington's 2022-23 campaign.

Wilhelm Breidenbach - Steps up in scrimmage Breidenbach notched 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt) 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and four blocks in 18 minutes during Sunday's 103-58 victory over Saint Martin's.

Impact Breidenbach, making his Washington debut after transferring from Nebraska, filled a huge void with Braxton Meah (ankle) absent. Breidenbach only connected on 23.4 percent of 48 three-point attempts last season, but his ability to profile as a floor spacer while providing rim protection would add a new dimension to Washington's rotation for the upcoming season.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Koren Johnson - Booms as sixth man Johnson posted 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, three assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 103-58 victory over Saint Martin's.

Impact Johnson caught fire from deep, which is a promising sign after he connected on just 32.1 percent of 2.9 threes per game as a true freshman last season. Johnson is a dynamic athlete with more scoring chops than Sahvir Wheeler and Paul Mulcahy, which should carve out a sizable role as Washington's third guard.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keion Brooks - Dominates scrimmage Brooks delivered 22 points (10-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and a steal in 14 minutes during Sunday's 103-58 scrimmage victory over Saint Martin's.

Impact Brooks wasted no time posting a monster scoring effort. The fifth-year senior averaged career-best marks of 17.7points, 6.7 rebounds and 28.6 percent shooting from deep last season. If the shot continues to incrementally develop, Brooks could be in store for a true breakout season.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Braxton Meah - Misses exhibition Meah (ankle) did not play in Sunday's 103-58 scrimmage victory against Saint Martin's, Percy Allen of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Meah missing time with an ankle injury would be a huge blow to Washington's frontcourt. Wilhelm Breidenbach (11 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks) filled in admirably, but Washington would still be thin at center. Meah has until Nov. 6 against Bellarmine to get healthy.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Franck Kepnang - Makes return Sunday Kepnang (knee) returned to action in an exhibition Sunday against Saint Martin's. He finished with four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and a block in the 103-58 win.

Impact Kepnang averaged 9.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game across eight games last season prior to injury, and he should be a bench option in this upcoming campaign.
