Big role off bench Garrison chipped in 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three blocks and three steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 83-82 victory over Oklahoma.

Impact Garrison's 27 minutes were his most since Jan. 7. The backup center managed to parlay that into 12 points, including two three-pointers. If Garrison can come off the bench and stretch the floor at 6-foot-10, that should only lead to more playing time for the sophomore down the line.

Five and five in win Garrison totaled five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 75-64 victory over Tennessee.

Impact Coming off a 15-point performance against South Carolina, Garrison was much quieter in the win over Tennessee. The bench forward continues to play a steady rotational role for the Wildcats, but his production can and will fluctuate on a nightly basis.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Limited impact in victory Garrison amassed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 78-73 win over Tennessee.

Impact Garrison has been a solid bench contributor for the Wildcats, averaging 5.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 18.1 minutes. Still, he plays different roles on a nightly basis, and was hardly involved against the Volunteers. That fluctuation in output makes it hard to trust Garrison from a fantasy perspective.

Looks solid in victory Garrison (undisclosed) finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 88-54 win over Brown.

Impact Garrison's availability was in doubt after news broke earlier in the week that he wasn't at 100 percent health, but he appeared to shoulder a full workload Tuesday. Even so, it'll be worth keeping an eye on his status heading into Saturday's matchup with Florida.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not 100 percent healthy Garrison (undisclosed) is not 100 percent healthy to play against Brown on Tuesday, head coach Mark Pope Jeff Drummond of Rivals.com during his weekly show Monday.

Impact The extent of the injury is uncertain, but Garrison's status for Tuesday's game against Brown could very well be in doubt. He's not expected to see a lot of action even if available, though. In 11 games this season, he's averaging 5.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Active Tuesday Garrison (undisclosed) finished Tuesday's 70-66 loss to Clemson with two points (1-2 FG) and two rebounds in 12 minutes.

Impact Garrison came off the bench after a one-game absence. The sophomore forward has logged over 10 minutes in each of his seven appearances this season.

DNP Friday Garrison (undisclosed) did not appear in Friday's 105-76 win over Georgia State, Ben Roberts of the Lexington Herald Leader reports.

Impact Garrison was held out for precautionary reasons during Friday's contest as he was dealing with some undisclosed soreness. The 6-foot-10 sophomore, who will have his next opportunity to suit up Tuesday against Clemson, is questionable for the contest.

Leaving Oklahoma State Garrison entered the transfer portal Monday, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact Garrison started 29 contests for Oklahoma in his freshman campaign, averaging 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 blocks and 22.7 minutes per game. Impressively, his block rate ranked in the top-90 nationwide and committing 4.9 fouls per 40 minutes is a passable figure for a freshman. The 6-foot-11 center is unlikely to return after a 12-20 season from the Cowboys.
