Impact Skillings recently underwent surgery on his injured knee and was presumed out for several weeks, but it appears the junior guard is on track to make his return sooner than anticipated.

Getting Skillings back early would be a huge boost for Cincinnati, though Miller did mention that a return next week is far from a guarantee. Skillings' status will be worth monitoring moving forward.
