Bad beginning to 2023 Dunn logged six points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Temple's 70-61 win Sunday versus Cincinnati.

Impact Dunn made only one shot and logged four turnovers. Fortunately for the sophomore, he will receive sufficient opportunities to redeem himself across 2023. Dunn averaged 14.7 points in between Nov. 7 and Dec. 20.

Available as backup Dunn (head) is available as a backup Sunday versus Cincinnati, according to 247Sports.com.

Impact Fortunately for Dunn, he does not require a multi-game absence due to his previous injury. Emmanuel Okpomo will be part of Temple's starting lineup again though. Dunn could receive a minute restriction Sunday.

Game-time decision Sunday Dunn (head) is a game-time decision Sunday versus Cincinnati, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Dunn's updated status is promising, considering he never had that prior to sitting out when the Owls played at East Carolina on Wednesday. Dunn has approximately six hours before their 2023 begins.

Drops 38 in losing effort Dunn closed with 38 points (13-18 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 89-87 OT loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact Dunn has only played in three games this season -- two bolstered by overtime minutes -- but has already accumulated a 29.7 ppg scoring average on 63.4 percent shooting. It's an incredible number that is perhaps unsustainable given the fact he shot 33.3 and 39.4 percent over the last two seasons, though some improvement certainly isn't out of the question. Temple continues to challenge itself in non-conference play with upcoming matchups against Rutgers (Nov. 18) and St. John's (Nov. 21), which likely means more chances for the Owls to lean heavily on Dunn.

Makes 18 free throws Monday Dunn accumulated 29 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 18-18 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Monday's 76-73 OT loss to Wagner.

Impact Dunn may have only scored five field goals, but the guard was able to get to the line and make each one of his 18 free throw attempts.

Khalif Battle and Dunn are poised to lead Owls in scoring for a second straight season.

Starting season opener Dunn (ankle) is listed in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Wagner.

Impact Dunn suffered an ankle injury at the end of last season in the AAC Tournament, but he's had plenty of time to recover over the offseason and is ready to roll for the first contests of the 2022-23 campaign. He averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists a year ago.

Leaves with ankle injury Friday Dunn departed Friday's AAC Tournament game versus Tulane with an ankle injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game, Sam Cohn of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Dunn attempted to check back into the game briefly, but his ankle clearly wasn't healthy and he was unable to give it a go. At 17-13 on the season, the Owls could be positioned for some form of postseason play, which would allow Dunn another chance to retake the floor.

Dunn leads the Owls in scoring this season, averaging 15.2 points per game. Dunn neared a double-double in Sunday's victory to go along with a few defensive hustle stats.
