Dawson Garcia - Termed questionable for ThursdayGarcia is listed as a question mark on the injury report for Thursday's game versus Ball State.
ImpactGarcia reportedly hadn't tested his ankle in recent practices after missing the last two contests, but the fact that he's listed as questionable suggests there is still a chance he could log at least a handful of minutes. If he winds up sitting, the junior big man will have more than a week to rest up before the team's next contest Dec. 29 versus Maine.
