Luke O'Brien - Out Saturday O'Brien (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Utah, Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.

Impact While O'Brien's injury isn't considered serious, per Rooney, it'll keep the senior forward sidelined versus the Utes. The 6-foot-8 O'Brien is averaging 6.7 points and 3.8 rebounds in 22.8 minutes with Colorado this season.

Tristan da Silva - Prototypical production Saturday da Silva ended Saturday's 78-69 loss to Washington State with 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 36 minutes.

Impact da Silva nearly aligned with his season averages of 15.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in Saturday's victory, and he has settled in with averages of 15.3 points and 5.4 rebounds across his past seven games. KJ Simpson has blossomed into the star of Colorado's offense, but da Silva's floor spacing and versatile presence is a critical component even when his efficiency is mediocre.

KJ Simpson - Simply sublime Simpson ended with 25 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 78-69 loss to Washington State.

Impact Simpson embodied peak efficiency Saturday, generating the majority of his points from beyond the arc and at the free-throw line. Across 20 players to be hitting at least 50.0 percent of twos and 40 percent threes this season, Simpson leads the nation in assist rate and steal rate, profiling him as arguably the most well-rounded guard in the country at his efficiency.

J'Vonne Hadley - Won't play Saturday Hadley (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Oregon State, Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.

Luke O'Brien will take his place in the starting lineup, according to Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera, and Hadley's next chance to play will come against Washington on Wednesday.

Cody Williams - Warming up pregame Williams (wrist) participated in early warmups ahead of Wednesday's game against California, Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.

Impact Williams has missed the past seven games while teanding to a left wrist injury, but his ability to participate in early warmups ahead of Wednesday's 11 pm E.T. tipoff is an encouraging sign that he'll return to the floor. the 6-foot-8 freshman started seven of the first eight games of the season, and he averaged 14.0 points while converting 62.3 percent of his 8.7 field-goal attempts per game.

J'Vonne Hadley - New season high in loss Hadley accumulated 19 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 76-73 loss to Arizona State.

Impact The return of high-volume scorer Tristan da Silva from an ankle injury didn't affect the offensive output of Hadley, who was efficient from the field en route to a season-best scoring total. With da Silva seemingly at full strength and KJ Simpson continuing to lead the scoring charge, Hadley's fantasy ceiling may be a bit limited, but his efficiency has served the Buffaloes well. The senior guard is currently averaging career highs in scoring (10.6 ppg), shooting percentage (56.3) and three-point percentage (41.7) for a tournament-hopeful Colorado squad.

RJ Smith - Will not return this year Head coach Tad Boyle confirmed that Smith (lower leg) will not return this season, Oliver Hayes of Sko Buffs Sports reports.

The 6-3 freshman played in seven games, averaging 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest. He'll look to get right and play his way into a rotational role for the 2024-25 campaign.
