Remains out Wednesday Pinson (knee) won't play Wednesday against Texas A&M, Sheldon Mickles of The Advocate reports.

Impact As anticipated, the senior will miss a fifth straight game with a nagging knee injury. Eric Gaines is making a fifth straight start in his absence. Pinson's next chance to return to the lineup looms Saturday against TCU.

Not warming up Wednesday Pinson (knee) isn't warming up ahead of Wednesday's game against Texas A&M, Sheldon Mickles of The Advocate reports.

Impact It doesn't look promising that Pinson will be able to play in Wednesday's matchup. It'll be a fifth straight contest that Pinson has missed due to a knee injury if the Tigers ultimately rule him out.

Would be very limited if able to go Pinson (knee) would be very limited in Wednesday's game against Texas A&M if he is able to go, Scott Rabalais of The Advocate reports.

Impact Pinson was reported to be doubtful, so whether he plays or not he does not sound like a good fantasy option for Wednesday's contest. LSU will likely have rely on some reserve backcourt players again against the Aggies.

Doubtful Wednesday Pinson (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Texas A&M, Sheldon Mickles of The Advocate reports.

Impact It appears that the senior will miss a fifth straight matchup with a knee injury. However, Pinson is reportedly able to do some running in practice which is a good sign that he's nearing a return. Thus, there may be a slight chance that Pinson could return in time for LSU's contest against TCU on Saturday.

Out Saturday Pinson (knee) will be out for Saturday's matchup with Tennessee, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Pinson will miss his fourth straight game with a knee injury suffered against Tennessee on Jan. 8. The 6-foot-2 senior has started 15 games for the Tigers, averaging 10.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals on 27.8 minutes per game. In his absence, Eric Gaines will be next in line at point guard.

In line to sit again Pinson (knee) is slated to miss Saturday's game against Tennessee, Glen West of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Pinson's return may not be too far off, but Pinson isn't quite ready to rejoin the action at this stage. He will miss his fourth consecutive game Saturday, presumably leaving Eric Gaines as the primary option on the point again. Pinson's next chance to suit up comes Wednesday versus Texas A&M.

Ruled out Wednesday Pinson (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest with Alabama, Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.com reports.

Impact Pinson will miss his third straight game with this knee injury. Eric Gaines appears in line to start again against the Crimson Tide. It's unclear if Pinson will be healthy enough by Saturday to face Tennessee.

Game-time call Wednesday Pinson (knee) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game at Alabama, Sheldon Mickles of The Advocate reports.

Impact Pinson has missed the past two matchups with a knee injury, but the guard ultimately has a good chance at returning to action Wednesday. Teammate Eric Gaines will presumably garner another start if Pinson is kept sidelined for a third straight however.

Out for game Saturday Pinson (knee) will not play in the game against Arkansas on Saturday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Pinson did not play the last game against Florida with the same injury so it has been serious enough to keep him out multiple games.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful to return Saturday Pinson (knee) is unlikely to play in Saturday's game against Arkansas, Scott Rabalais of The Advocate reports.

Impact Pinson missed Wednesday's game against Florida with a knee injury, and although coach Will Wade said that Pinson is running, he would be surprised if Pinson was ready to go tomorrow. The 6-foot-2 guard has started 15 games for LSU, averaging 10.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.1 steals on 27.8 minutes per game this season. If Pinson can't take the floor Saturday, his next chance to return would be Wednesday against Alabama.

Won't play Wednesday LSU head coach Will Wade said Pinson (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against Florida, Sheldon Mickles of The New Orleans Advocate reports.

Impact After suffering a MCL sprain and a bone bruise in his right knee during Saturday's win over Tennessee, Pinson will need at least one game on off to recover. Eric Gaines will presumably step into a starting role and take on an increased role versus the Gators. Pinson will likely remain day-to-day leading up to the team's next matchup Saturday versus Arkansas.

Day-to-day with MCL strain LSU head coach Will Wade said Monday that Pinson is day-to-day after suffering a Grade 1 MCL sprain and a bone bruise in his right knee during Saturday's 79-67 win over Tennessee,...

Impact Wade described the diagnosis as a "best-case scenario" for Pinson, who appeared at risk of missing significant time after sustaining the injury with 3:28 remaining in Saturday's contest. Pinson required assistance off the court before heading to the locker room, but the senior transfer from Missouri looks like he'll be ready to play after missing a minimal amount of time, if any. He can probably be viewed as doubtful for Wednesday's game at Florida until LSU provides another update in the next day or two. Eric Gaines will likely draw the start if Pinson is sidelined Wednesday for the first time all season.
