Plays 23 minutes off bench Tuesday Gavalyugov had eight points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over Humboldt State.

Impact Gavalyugov might have fallen short of scoring in double digits, something four Broncos players did in this game, but he delivered a solid stat line with his contributions across the board. Expect Gavalyugov to remain a valuable contributor for Santa Clara, particularly since they'll be without two rotation pieces, Gehrig Normand (foot) and Chris Tadjo (undisclosed), for the time being.

Lands with Santa Clara Gavalyugov is transferring to Santa Clara, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Out vs. Colorado Gavalyugov (illness) is out for Tuesday's matchup against Colorado, Jeff Neiburg of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Gavalyugov didn't make the trip with the Wildcats to the College Basketball Crown tournament, and he'll thus miss out on all of the games forthcoming. The freshman guard will now most likely focus on next season even if Villanova beats Colorado and moves on to Thursday's game.

Two minutes during exhibition game Gavalyugov (knee) logged one rebound and one assist across two minutes during Villanova's exhibition game Sunday against Robert Morris.

Impact Gavalyugov barely logged multiple minutes during Villanova's latest exhibition, which makes his Nova role and fantasy upside not so promising going into the 2024-25 Wildcats' regular season. At the very least, Gavalyugov is healthy and has at least a chance for some better game opportunities, which could be given to him come November.
