Part of starting lineup Sunday Karaban (shoulder) is part of the Huskies' starting lineup Sunday, according to their Twitter account.

Suiting up Sunday Karaban (shoulder) will be available Sunday for UConn's game against St. John's Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Karaban missed some recent practice time due to the shoulder injury, but he won't be forced to sit out for the first time this season after apparently showing enough improvement heading into Sunday's 12 p.m. ET tipoff. The 6-foot-8 redshirt freshman is averaging 9.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per game while starting 17 of UConn's first 18 games.

Aiming to play Sunday Karaban missed practice Thursday and Friday with a shoulder injury but is hopeful to play in Sunday's game versus St. John's, David Borges of ctinsider.com reports.

Impact Karaban has started in all but one of his 18 appearances for UConn this season. If he can't suit up Sunday, his next chance to play is Wednesday's matchup with Seton Hall.

Scores 17 points Karaban logged 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 34 minutes during Connecticut's 82-76 loss Wednesday at Marquette.

Impact Karaban averaged 10.0 points across Connecticut's first three games of 2023. It is expected to be a developmental stage for the promising freshman, whose scoring average should improve during this year. Karaban averaged 9.5 points across Connecticut's last 15 games of 2022.

Contending for starting role Karaban is in the mix for a starting role to open the season for UConn, Jon reports.

Impact Karaban hasn't seen a ton of recruiting hype and was even left off a few overall top-100 lists, but his shooting, passing and ability to stretch the floor have all drawn attention early on. The idea is that he may be able to draw away enough double teams from Big East Preseason Player of the Year Adama Sanogo, which has value on its own. Still, it seems unlikely that Karaban would have been in contention for a starting role out of the gates, but with 6-6 wing Andre Jackson sidelined until mid-October due to a finger injury, it's possible a spot has opened up.
