DONOVAN CLINGAN NEWS

Ramping up minutes Clingan felt "great" against Creighton and will be on an extended minutes restriction for Saturday's game against Villanova, Joe Arruda of The Hatford Courant reports.

Impact After missing five games with a foot injury, Clingan played 16 minutes against Creighton on Wednesday. However, the sophomore big man should continue to get closer to his season average of 20.4 minutes per contest.

Set for limited return Clingan (foot) will be available for Wednesday's showdown with Creighton, but he will be limited in the contest, Gavin Keefe of The Day reports.

Impact Clingan will make his return to the court after missing the last five games with a foot injury. The 7-foot-2 sophomore has started in 12 games this season, averaging 13.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and two blocks on 20.8 minutes per game. Despite making his return to the court, Clingan is expected to be under a heavy minute's restriction against the Bluejays.

50/50 to play Wednesday Coach Dan Hurley said that Clingan (foot) is a "coin flip" to play in Wednesday's game against Creighton, David Borges of CT Insider reports.

Impact Coach Hurley also added that if Clingan is unable to go on Wednesday, that he feels good about the star big man being able to suit up Saturday against Villanova. Clingan has been out since Dec. 20 due to this foot injury. He is clearly improving but fantasy managers should expect him to be eased into action once cleared to play. The Huskies need to make sure Clingan in 100 percent from the stretch run.

Making progress but not ready yet Clingan (foot) is not ready to play yet but is getting into "really good shape," according to coach Dan Hurley, Joe Arruda of the Hartford Courant reports.

Impact Clingan is dealing with a foot injury that is expected to keep him out at least another week or two. The good news is it sounds like the star big man is making solid progress and has not had any setbacks. UConn will not risk bringing Clingan back early as they will need him down the stretch to chase a title.

Game-time decision Tuesday Clingan will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against North Carolina due to a toe injury according to coach Dan Hurley, Joe Arruda of the Hartford Courant reports.

Impact Clingan's absence from this game would be massive as he figured to be able to limit the offensive threat of Tar Heel center Armando Bacot. Clingan likely picked up this toe injury last Friday in a battle with Hunter Dickinson and Kansas. Clingan is averaging 14.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.0 blocks this season and is one of three Huskies along with Alex Karaban (finger) and Cam Spencer (toes) who are listed as game-time decisions for Tuesday's game.

Rounding into form Clingan notched 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during Friday's 90-60 win over Manhattan.

Impact It hasn't been the breakout many fantasy managers were expecting out of Clingan this season, as he battled a foot injury early on and is ceding more minutes than expected to backup center Samson Johnson (who actually logged more time on the floor than Clingan on Friday). Nonetheless, it's far too early for the "bust" tag, as Clingan has still started every game for the undefeated Huskies and posted more-than-respectable averages of 12.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. Look for UConn to rely more heavily on the big man as the level of competition rises, which is set to happen in a big way in December. The Huskies have Kansas, North Carolina and Gonzaga on the schedule next month before tipping off Big East play.
