Nick Richart - Active Wednesday Richart (undisclosed) logged one assist in four minutes during Wednesday's 80-76 OT victory over Temple.

Impact Richart, who was designated as questionable pregame, logged four minutes of action during Wednesday's win over the Owls. The 6-foot-10 sophomore, who is averaging 0.5 points and two rebounds across 12 games, remains in a reserve role for the 49ers.

Dezayne Mingo - Scores 19, dishes 10 assists Mingo registered 19 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 80-76 OT win over Temple.

Impact Mingo equaled his season high in assists, set in the double-overtime win against Wichita State on Jan. 3. In conference play, the 6-4 senior has provided 15.4 points and 5.6 assists. Charlotte has won their last four games by a combined 11 points, but winning is a habit. The 49ers take on Rice on Saturday. Mingo had 14 points in the Jan. 11 win over the Owls.

Anton Bonke - Puts up 25 points, nine boards Bonke supplied a career-high 25 points (11-14 FG, 3-7 FT) and nine rebounds across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 80-76 OT win over Temple.

Impact The 49ers are one of the nicest surprises in the American Conference and have won three in a row. Bonke had been limited to a combined 20 points in his four previous games, but found his offensive game against the Owls. He has converted 72.0 percent of his field goals in his last three games. The 7-2 center will look to improve on the two points and two rebounds he produced in the first game against Wichita State, Charlotte's next opponent, on Sunday.

Nick Richart - Questionable at Temple Richart (undisclosed) is questionable to face Temple on Wednesday night.

Impact Richart plays a tiny role for the 49ers, averaging 0.5 points and 2.2 rebounds across 7.5 minutes off the bench this season. His absence wouldn't be a big deal for Charlotte.

Dezayne Mingo - Scores 20 in win Mingo racked up 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes during Friday's 73-70 win over Tulane.

Impact The 49ers, at 5-2 in conference, have been the biggest surprise of the early going in the American Conference and Mingo is a big reason why. The 6-4 senior has been pouring points off the Charlotte bench. Through seven conference games, he is averaging 14.9 points on 49.2 percent from the field. The 49ers will go for their third straight win Wednesday at Temple. Mingo had seven points and seven assists in the Dec. 30 loss to the Owls.

Anton Bonke - Goes for 12 points, eight boards Bonke amassed 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 73-70 win over East Carolina.

Impact Bonke broke out of a slump in which he hit 2-of-9 from the field for a combined four points in his previous two games. After opening the season with four double-doubles in his first six games, the 7-2 junior has just one double-double since. Maybe Sunday's performance will get him on the right track.

David Gomez - Out Sunday against ECU Gomez (undisclosed) will not play Sunday against East Carolina.

Impact Gomez appeared in two games in late November and provided 5.0 points and 3.5 rebounds off the 49ers bench. The 6-9 freshman represents the future of the program if he stays in Charlotte. The 49ers are off for a week, so Gomez could return next Sunday against Tulsa.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Jarne Elouna Eyenga - Returns to action Wednesday Elouna Eyenga (undisclosed) ended with two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Wednesday's 74-58 victory over UTSA.

Impact Elouna Eyenga logged nine minutes off the bench. Even though he didn't produce much across the board, at least he should be healthy enough to be a depth option in the frontcourt in the coming games. With this return, he snapped a seven-game absence.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ethan Butler - Doesn't play Wednesday Butler (leg) didn't play Wednesday against UTSA.

Impact Butler has missed back-to-back games while working his way back from a leg injury. His next chance to play will come against Rice on Sunday, Jan. 11.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Spencer Elliott - Brings down 10 boards Elliott amassed two points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), a season-high 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 74-58 victory over UTSA.

Impact The 6-10 sophomore has started the last eight games and provides an imposing frontcourt duo with Anton Bonke. Elliott is mostly a defensive presence and has only scored in double digits once. As a starter, he is averaging 6.3 points and 3.9 rebounds.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Jarne Elouna Eyenga - GTD Wednesday Elounda Eyenga (undisclosed) is listed questionable for Wednesday's game against UTSA.

Impact Elounda Eyenga has missed seven consecutive games as he continues working his way back to full health from an undisclosed injury. The freshman forward appears to be nearing a return but is likely going to be eased in when given the chance. His next chance to suit up would be against Rice during Sunday's contest, if he were to sit this one out.
