Enters transfer portal Yap entered the NCAA's transfer portal Wednesday, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact Less than one week after the Bulldogs were defeated by Utah State, thereby ending their 2023-24 season, Yap is considering a transfer before his last season of collegiate eligibility. What makes him stand out over other portal entries is his excellence as a reserve. Yap played 14 games off the 2023-24 Bulldogs' bench and averaged more than 10 points with a limited role.

MARCH 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pours in 16 off the bench Yap (hand) logged 16 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 77-73 victory over Wyoming.

Impact Yap was expected to miss the remainder of his senior campaign after sustaining a hand injury in early February, but he was able to return to the court Tuesday. The senior guard erupted with a much-needed scoring outburst in the first round of the Mountain West Tournament, dropping 16 points with extremely efficient shooting splits of 80/50/87.5. The Las Vegas native will look to help the Bulldogs pull off an upset against No. 1 seeded Utah State on Mar. 14.

Yap leads Fresno State against San Jose State after 20-point game

Fresno State visits the San Jose State Spartans after Donavan Yap scored 20 points in the Bulldogs' 73-61 loss to the Colorado State Rams

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • Associated Press

Leads all players in steals Yap finished with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 FT), one assist and three steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 61-58 win over Bakersfield.

Impact Yap's three steals were a season-high, bringing his total to six on the season. The senior guard also now has four games scoring in double-digits this year, providing good rotational minutes on both sides of the ball for the Bulldogs. The Las Vegas native's next chance to build off of this outing will come against Portland State on Monday.

Logs 16 points off the bench Yap finished Tuesday's 70-62 victory over San Jose State with 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes.

Impact The junior was a huge help off the bench for the Bulldogs in Tuesday's win over San Jose State, scoring 16 points while making both of his three-point shots. Yap is averaging 10.0 points per game in his last three outings, so expect him to continue having a productive bench role.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 13 points again Yap finished with 13 points (4-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 51-48 loss to Air Force.

Impact Yap scored 13 points during each of the Bulldogs' two games this week. Isaiah Hill (concussion) and Jemarl Baker (knee) sat out one or both matchups. While the Bulldogs do not have either member of their preferred backcourt, fantasy managers should expect Yap to continue benefiting.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays five minutes Yap (undisclosed) finished Saturday's 79-57 loss to Colorado State with one rebound across five minutes.

Impact Despite being a backup, Yap is expected to log more minutes than those he recorded Saturday. He logged an 18.7-minute average across Fresno State's 11 games in between Nov. 15 and Jan. 1. Yap was a backup each matchup.

DNP vs. New Mexico Yap did not play during the Bulldogs' 71-67 win Tuesday versus New Mexico.

Impact An undisclosed problem prevented Yap from participating in the Bulldogs' first game of 2023. Currently, their next matchup is at Colorado State on Saturday.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 17 points off the bench Yap recorded 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 65-56 win over CSUN.

Impact The transfer from UNLV scored a season-high 17 points and shot 75 percent from the field. The junior is quickly adapting to his new team and has made an efficient impact by shooting 42.9 percent from the field through the first eight games of the season. Continue to expect Yap to have a bench role for the Bulldogs.

Plays four minutes Friday Yap (undisclosed) played four minutes and recorded two points and one turnover in the game against UNLV on Friday.

Impact Yap only played four minutes in the game despite getting on the court for 20 minutes the last two times he was out there. This is likely due to Yap still nursing his injury and hopefully he will return to a full workload soon.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Yap (undisclosed) was not active for Tuesday's 79-59 win over San Jose State.

Impact It is unclear why Yap did not play for the Bulldogs Tuesday as the 6-foot-5 guard had played 20 minutes in Fresno State's last two games. Yap has put up 2.2 points and one rebound on 10.5 minutes per game this season. Yap's status for Friday's game against UNLV is now unclear as the nature of his absence hasn't been revealed.
