Opts out for time being Diarra has opted out "for the time being" due to COVID-19 concerns, Mike Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.
Impact This is turning into a weird situation, as Diarra reportedly "could be back tomorrow" if he so chooses too. The senior didn't play in Tuesday's win over Clemson and could likely end up out once again Saturday at Coppin State.

Cleared for Tuesday Diarra (undisclosed) will play Tuesday against Penn State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Diarra did not suit up last Thursday against VMI after reportedly missing a COVID test, but as expected, the key reserve will be available Tuesday evening. The senior transfer from Kansas State has yet to crack the starting five this year, and that still seems unlikely after his latest mishap, though he is coming off his best statistical game of the season. Diarra put up 10 points, three assists and two rebounds in just 16 minutes, and has exactly three assists in every game this season.

Expected back Tuesday Head coach Mike Young said that Diarra will be available next Tuesday against Penn State after being unavailable vs. VMI on Thursday because of a missed COVID-19 test, Tech Sidelin...
Impact According to Young, Diarra overslept and missed his early-morning COVID-19 test, ultimately making him unavailable Thursday. The senior has averaged 7.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and three assists in three games played this season. He will look to contribute in his return against the Nittany Lions.

Out Thursday Diarra will not play in Thursday's game against VMI due to undisclosed reasons, Mark Berman of The Roanoke Times reports.
Impact After averaging 7.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists through the first three games of the season, Diarra will not be available Thursday. On a positive note, he is expected to return for Tuesday's game against Penn State.

No game Saturday Diarra and the Hokies won't take the floor Saturday versus Temple due to a positive COVID-19 test within the Owls' ranks, Evan G. Watkins of 247Sports reports.
Impact Diarra put up decent numbers in his debut for the Hokies off the bench Wednesday and figures to see plenty of action as the season wears on. While the Hokies will not play Saturday, they are still scheduled to take on South Florida on Sunday evening.
NOVEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Beginning in bench role for Hokies Diarra will open his first season with the Hokies in a bench role, Mark Berman of The Roanoke Times reports.
Impact According to Jake Lyman of 3304 Sports, Diarra is expected to take the floor no later than the first media timeout, so the senior should still see plenty of action in his debut with Virginia Tech. He averaged 13.3 points, 4.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals per contest a season ago with Kansas State.
