Will be available Saturday Carlton (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Georgetown, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Carlton didn't play in the Huskies' previous game, but he recovered quickly and is expected to see minutes here. He is averaging just 3.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, however, so his availability shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.

UConn gives contract extensions to coaches Hurley, Edsall

The University of Connecticut announced Friday that it has agreed to two-year contract extensions for football coach Randy Edsall and men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley

MARCH 5, 2021 • Associated Press

Nearing full health Coach Dan Hurley indicated Friday that Carlton (ankle) is "about 90-95 percent" ahead of Saturday's game against Georgetown, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear if Carlton will gain clearance to play in Saturday's contest, but it appears he's at least nearing full health. The senior hasn't held the same role he has in years past, averaging just 3.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest, so his return shouldn't be overly impactful from a fantasy perspective even if the senior big man is available.

Will play through hip issue Whaley is dealing with a minor hip injury but will play Saturday against Georgetown, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.

Impact Whaley is coming off of a 17-point, 10-board double-double against Seton Hall and should be in line for a hefty workload again Saturday as long as his hip holds up. The senior forward is averaging 7.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per contest on the season.

Andy Katz Tiers: Final Four sleepers galore in NCAA Tournament field

Leads team against Seton Hall Whaley had a team-high 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt) to go along with 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 69-58 victory over Seton Hall.

Impact Whaley had been reported to be dealing with ankle trouble in mid-February, and potentially as a result, has been averaging just 21.3 mpg over his last four contests. He logged his highest minutes total since the start of February in this one, however, as the senior's post presence was ultimately needed in the absence of Josh Carlton (ankle). Whaley now has four double-doubles on the year, with season-long averages of 7.9 points and 6.2 rebounds -- both career highs.

MARCH 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sits against Seton Hall Carlton (ankle) ultimately did not take the court Wednesday despite participating in warmups.

Impact Carlton was expected to be available for the penultimate game of the regular season, but coach Dan Hurley instead elected to take a conservative approach with the 6-11 senior. In his stead, Adama Sanogo and Isaiah Whaley each saw 30-plus minutes, with Whaley picking up his fourth double-double of the season. Tyler Polley ended up as the first and only forward off the bench. It's unclear if Carlton will take the court in Saturday's regular season finale against Georgetown, or if Hurley will continue to save him for the postseason. It could very well be a matter of need and game flow.

MARCH 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Looking good in warmups Carlton (ankle) looks healthy in warmups ahead of Wednesday's game against Seton Hall, David Borges of Hearst Connecticut Media reports.

Impact Carlton serves as a solid bench piece for the Huskies in the frontcourt and it appears he's in good shape as far as his ankle goes after he rolled it in the team's previous contest. He should sere in a similar role Wednesday.

MARCH 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Carlton rolled his ankle during Saturday's win over Marquette, and he's officially considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest. The senior center has suited up in 15 games (one start) this year, averaging 3.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.

Helps lift Huskies Cole had 21 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's 80-62 victory over Marquette.

Impact Even with James Bouknight returning to the starting lineup, Cole continues to serve as a valuable secondary scoring option for the tournament-hopeful Huskies. He's returned to the starting lineup over the last four contests, putting up 15.3 points -- along with 4.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds -- over that span. UConn has now won four of its last five games, helping its case for an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.
