Leads scoring in return Frink provided 15 points (5-6 FG, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Saturday's 78-75 loss to Temple.

Impact Frink has yet to crack the starting lineup this season for the Pirates, and that didn't change Saturday after missing the previous Wednesday's game with an undisclosed issue. Still, he posted a season-best scoring total that also led all East Carolina players in the narrow defeat. Despite the solid effort here, it doesn't appear that the playing time will be consistent enough to warrant much fantasy relevance moving forward. Formerly a three-year rotation player at South Carolina, Frink is actually seeing less minutes with the Pirates than he had in either of the last two seasons with the Gamecocks.

Impact Frink had missed three straight games due to a foot injury but was finally able to return Friday and played a season-high 17 minutes. The 6-8 junior has been a serviceable player off the bench in his first year for the Pirates, averaging 5.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 13 minutes per contest. He should continue to hold a top depth role moving forward.

Impact Frink was considered a game-time decision leading up to the contest but was ultimately held out of competition for a second straight game. the fact that the junior was at least a game-time call bodes well for his chances of returning relatively soon. His next chance to do so arrives Tuesday against North Carolina A&T.

Out again Saturday Frink (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Saturday against Auburn, David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.

Impact Frink continues to work his way through COVID-19 protocol but has apparently yet to clear it. That will leave the Gamecocks shorthanded yet again in the frontcourt, as Frink had been relied upon for more than 18 minutes per game.

Won't play Tuesday Frink will remain out Tuesday against Missouri, David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.

Hoping to get through protocols Frink (undisclosed) is questionable to play in Tuesday's game against Missouri, David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.

Impact Both Frink and teammate Jaylin McCreary are in COVID-19 protocol and coach Frank Martin seemed very hesitant to say whether or not they would be available against the Tigers. If they can't go their next chance to return would be Saturday against Auburn.

It appears Wildens Leveque is in line for a start with Frink unavailable. In three games this season, Leveque is averaging 4.7 points and 3.7 rebounds across 16.3 minutes per game, and he figures to see a substantial role in Saturday's game with the team shorthanded.

Impact Frink is in the starting group after undergoing knee surgery over the summer. The junior forward averaged 5.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game and was in and out of the lineup in 2019. He should have his starting role locked down for the time being unless his struggles resurface again.
