Alexis Yetna - College Basketball News & Rumors

Not in starting lineup Yetna (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Houston after he suffered an apparent left ankle injury in the team's game against Temple earlier in the week.

Impact Yetna's omission from the starting five doesn't bode well for his potential playing status for Sunday's game. The 6-8 junior was seen sporting a walking boot during the second half of Wednesday's loss but a follow-up on the severity of the injury has yet to be provided. Justin Brown will shift to power forward in his place and Madut Akec could see some increased usage if Yetna is indeed unavailable.

Spotted in walking boot Yetna departed Wednesday's game versus Temple in the first half with an apparent left ankle injury and was spotted in a boot during the second half, WHIP Sports reports.

Impact Yetna will presumably undergo scans to reveal the full damage to his foot, but it's certainly not a good sign that he was in a boot for the second half o the contest. The junior forward averaged 10.1 points and 7.7 rebounds on the season prior to his early departure Wednesday, so there would be a major hole to fill if he is set to miss extended time.

Logs 25 minutes in return Yetna started and had 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds and a block across 25 minutes in Saturday's 68-61 victory over UCF.

Impact Yetna took on his lowest minutes workload since the season opener, but he still reached double figures for the sixth consecutive game while putting up the second-most shots on the team. Given it's Yetna's first season back from a major injury, the Bulls may be conservative with any lower-body issues that arise. For the time being, however, it appears the lower leg issue that forced Yetna to sit out Tuesday against Memphis is a thing of the past.

Good to go Yetna (lower leg) will play Saturday against Central Florida, source reports.

Impact A lower-leg strain kept the junior forward off the court in South Florida's previous game against Memphis. He'll take his customary place in the starting lineup Saturday.

Will be game-time decision Yetna (lower leg) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against Central Florida, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Yetna didn't play in South Florida's most recent game but has a shot at returning here. He would provide a boost to the team's offense if that's the case, as he's averaging 12.8 points with 9.4 rebounds per game over his last five contests.

Dealing with leg issue Yetna missed Tuesday's matchup against Memphis due to a lower-leg strain, Robert Steeg of SB Nation reports.

Impact Yetna's injury wasn't initially disclosed, but now there's further explanation for his absence. It remains unclear what type of a return timetable he may be facing, as well as whether he'll be ready for Saturday's matchup against UCF. In Yetna's absence Tuesday, Rashun Williams got the start and was scoreless in 12 minutes, while Madut Akec chipped in two three-pointers across 20 minutes off the bench.

Out Tuesday Yetna won't play in Tuesday's contest against Memphis, Will Turner of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact The junior, who isn't dressed for Tuesday's matchup, will miss his first game this season due to an undisclosed reason. Prince Oduro will presumably garner the start in Yetna's absence.

Leads Bulls to victory Yetna had a season-high 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's 74-71 victory over Cincinnati.

Impact Yetna is returning from a year on the sidelines this season, and while he came off the bench in the season opener, he's started in the six contests since. Wednesday represented his first double-double of the season, but it almost certainly won't be the last, as the Frenchman accomplished that feat 15 times during his freshman season in 2018-19.

Coming off bench Wednesday Yetna will come off the bench Wednesday against Rhode Island, Will Turner of 247 Sports reports.
