Tony Miller - Remains out Saturday Miller (shoulder) will not make his season debut Saturday, WSU Cougar Notes reports.
Impact Miller has not appeared in any games for the Cougars this season. The 6-foot-6 forward played in 10 games last season, but has yet to join the squad this season. It's not clear when he will be able to suit up next, though his next opportunity is Thursday against Arizona.

Carlos Rosario - Scratched indefinitely Rosario will be scratched until further notice.
Impact Rosario hasn't appeared in a game this season and doesn't look to be nearing a return anytime soon. He played in seven games last season for the Cougars and averaged just 5.6 minutes per game off the bench.

Impact Koulibaly, who missed Thursday's game against Stanford, will remain out Saturday. The 6-foot-3 freshman has appeared in 16 games, contributing 2.6 points, 0.9 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.4 steals on 8.1 minutes per game this season.

Jefferson Koulibaly - Scratched Thursday Koulibaly was unavailable for Thursday's game against Cal.
Impact Koulibaly typically only plays a handful of minutes off the bench, so his absence likely didn't change the Coogs rotation too much. Still, it's worth noting that Wazzu was down a little depth in the backcourt and could be against Saturday versus Cal if Koulibably can't make it back.

TJ Bamba - Minimal output Thursday Bamba notched zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 10 minutes during Thursday's 66-60 victory over Stanford.
Impact Bamba had attempted at least three shots in every game he appeared in prior to Thursday, though it's worth noting he was cited to be limited heading into the contest. He finished the night with a season-low 10 minutes of action and managed to pick up three fouls along the way. Assuming he avoided setbacks, Bamba could be in line for more work next time out.

TJ Bamba - Warming up, will play Thursday Bamba (undisclosed) will play Thursday against Stanford, Colton Clark of The Spokeman-Review reports.
Impact Bamba is coming off a late scratch to Sunday's game against Colorado. While it's uncertain how severe the injury is, Bamba could be limited in action against Stanford. If he is, expect Michael Flowers and D.J. Rodman to see extended minutes.
FEBRUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
TJ Bamba - Likely back, may be limited Bamba (undisclosed) is expected to return to the floor Thursday against Stanford but may be limited, Jamey Vinnick of 247Sports reports.
Impact Bamba was a late scratch for Sunday's game against Colorado but appears to be on track to rejoin the fold Thursday. The sophomore is coming off of just his seventh double-digit scoring effort of the campaign in the Jan. 26 clash with Utah, though it also marked his first time coming off the bench since Dec. 4. Given his absence and the fact that he will likely be less than fully healthy, Bamba may be headed for a bench role again Thursday even if he plays.

The post player is averaging 7.4 points and 6.5 rebounds through eight Pac-12 contests.
