Impact Tabbs was unable to be part of East Carolina's starting backcourt, currently Kalib LaCount and Russell Felton despite Javon Small (undisclosed) being out injured. The portal addition will be unavailable until late-2023. Before then, Tabbs is expected to be part of a new team.

Steps away from team Tabbs has decided to take a leave of absence from the team, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact Tabbs is taking a step back to focus on his body and his health, per Igoe. It's unclear if he'll return to the team at this time. Tabbs will be considered out until further notice.

Out Tuesday Tabbs (undisclosed) will miss his fourth straight game Tuesday versus Tulsa, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact The senior will miss his fourth straight game due to an undisclosed injury. Tabbs' next opportunity will be Monday against Wichita State.

Misses third straight Tabbs (undisclosed) did not appear in Wednesday's 73-58 loss to Temple.

Impact Tabbs missed his third straight game while dealing with an undisclosed injury. It is unclear how long he will continue to miss, though his next chance to return is Tuesday against Tulsa.

Fails to play Saturday Tabbs (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's loss to USF.

Impact Tabbs was seen warming up but ultimately did not enter the game as he sat his second straight with an injury. The 6-2 senior will try to see if he can go when the team travels to face Temple on Wednesday.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in warmups Tabbs (undisclosed) is going through warmups before Sunday's game against South Florida, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact Tabbs was spotted in warmups alongside Jaden Walker, but it remains to be seen if either player will be available for Sunday's contest. Tabbs has missed five of East Carolina's last eight games.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Wednesday Tabbs will not be available for Wednesday's game against Cincinnati, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact The reasoning for Tabbs' surprise inactive status has not been revealed by the team just yet. The Boston College transfer has not played a major factor for the Pirates thus far, averaging 3.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per game. He'll attempt to return to the fold Sunday versus USF.

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unimpressive across game started Tabbs accumulated five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 64-61 loss to UCF.

Impact Tabbs failed to score at least 10 points during each of his last six games played. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if he is excluded across East Carolina's starting lineups, despite the inclusion on Wednesday.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Eight points across 22 minutes Tabbs (illness) contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 79-69 victory over Wichita State.

Impact Tabbs was one two-pointer away from logging multiple digits of points. Coincidentally, his two best point tallies of the 2022-23 season are when he played more than 20 minutes both games.

DNP vs. Coppin State Tabbs did not play during the Pirates' 84-75 win Sunday versus Coppin State.

Impact According to Stephen Igoe of 247Sports, Tabbs sat out ill without COVID-19. He will try returning when the Pirates are at South Carolina on Saturday.

DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 16 points in win Tabbs logged 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one assist over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 79-65 victory over UT Arlington.

Impact Tabbs set a new season high on Wednesday, which was also his first game of the season scoring in double-figures. The senior guard shot very well from behind the arc, making three, three-point shots. Tabbs shot very efficiently from the floor overall, though did not provide the team with much else statistically. After transferring from Boston College over the offseason, Tabbs has entered off the bench in every game this season, though on Wednesday, he more than doubled his usual minutes while riding his hot hand.

Returns to court Tuesday Tabbs (knee) added two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) during Tuesday's win over Mercer.

Impact This was Tabbs first matchup in nearly a calendar year, as the guard suffered a season-ending knee injury last December.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start against Mercer Tabbs (knee) is not in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus Mercer.

Impact Tabbs was present in pre-game warmups, so it is possible that he will play in a limited role off the bench while recovering from a knee injury. Russell Felton will start in his place Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Present in warmups Tabbs (knee) was spotted participating in pregame warmups in advance of Tuesday's season opener against Mercer, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact This is major news for Tabbs and the Pirates, as he hadn't received full clearance as of mid-October. If a return is indeed imminent, East Carolina will gain a massive scoring threat.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in practice Tabbs (knee) has been cleared for full-contact practice but has yet to be cleared for live game action, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact The most recent word on Tabbs from 10 days ago suggested the senior guard was still sidelined, so this is certainly an encouraging development. It makes a potential November return seem realistic, though there are still a few more hurdles to clear for the potential high-volume scorer.

ECU guard Wynston Tabbs to have season-ending surgery The former Boston College transfer won't suit up this year for ECU due to continued knee issues.

DECEMBER 21, 2021 • 247SPORTS.COM

Needs season-ending knee surgery East Carolina head coach Joe Dooley announced Monday that Tabbs will soon undergo knee surgery and miss the remainder of the season, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact After averaging 13.3 points per game over his 12 appearances with Boston College as a redshirt sophomore in 2020-21, Tabbs was expected to take on a high-volume scoring role for the Pirates upon transferring to East Carolina over the offseason. Instead, Tabbs will have his first campaign in Greenville wiped out by the knee injury, which he sustained in the preseason. Knee concerns are nothing new for Tabbs, who missed 16 games as a true freshman in 2018-19 before sitting out the 2019-20 season at Boston College due to knee procedure. According to Dooley, Tabbs' upcoming surgery won't be on the same knee, but the setback is troubling for the 6--foot-2 guard's long-term outlook. Tabbs should have up to two more years of eligibility to use beginning in 2022-23, and he could qualify for a seventh year of eligibility in 2024-25 if he petitions the NCAA for a medical redshirt.

DECEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still sitting to begin season Tabbs (undisclosed) missed his third straight game Sunday against Western Carolina.

Impact Tabbs was supposedly given NCAA clearance in August, and the program hasn't said much regarding his status to begin this season, leaving all possibilities in play. In his absence, Tristen Newton has been leading the team in offensive rating and usage rate, and he also dropped 30 points in Saturday's win. The sledding is about to get much tougher for the Pirates, however, as they have a matchup with Porter Moser's Oklahoma Sooners scheduled for Thursday. It's unclear if Tabbs will be available to provide an offensive boost at that time.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Tabbs (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Friday's game Against Canisius, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The transfer from Boston College will be sidelined for the second straight game to open the season. Tabbs' next opportunity to take the court will come Sunday versus Western Carolina.
