Impact Gantt seems set to miss his second straight Friday due to a right knee injury. The junior forward is averaging 2.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 17.6 minutes across 22 games this season.

Game-time decision Friday Gantt (knee) will be a game-time decision before No. 11 North Carolina State's game Friday against No. 6 Creighton, according to The Wolfpacker.

Impact Gantt will have had more than a week to heal up his right knee, so a game-time decision suggests the injury is a significant one. NC State will need all the firepower it can get, as the Wolfpack may also be without Dusan Mahorcic (kneecap) in their attempt to upset Creighton in the Round of 64 across the 2023 NCAA Tournament.

Unavailable Thursday Gantt (knee) will not be available to play in Thursday's game against Clemson, R. Cory Smith of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Gantt suffered a right knee injury in the win over Virginia Tech on Wednesday and is still sporting a cast and crutches while his team gears up for action. The 6-8 junior had started each of the last 17 games for the Wolfpack and figures to be replaced in the first five by Jack Clark.

Suffers knee injury Gantt suffered a knee injury during the Wolfpack's game Wednesday against Virginia Tech, according to their Twitter account.

Impact Gantt logged four points (2-2 FG), three assists and one steal across 13 minutes before his right knee was injured. Currently, the Wolfpack junior's injury status is questionable prior to them playing Clemson on Thursday.

Low-scoring despite starting role Gantt contributed five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 14 minutes during Saturday's 72-64 victory over Georgia Tech.

Impact Gantt has started 9 consecutive games at power forward for the Wolfpack, though it hasn't led to a ton of fantasy production, as he's averaging just 2.7 points across 23.3 mpg over that stretch. He and Ernest Ross continue to split time at the position, but that will likely change once Jack Clark returns from a hip injury. Clark has missed the last nine games but was recently spotted warming up with the team, so that return could arrive any game now.

Impact Gantt made his return after missing the team's exhibition games in the Bahamas due to a left thumb sprain. The junior forward had three fouls and two turnovers in just 11 minutes Wednesday.

Impact Although no final decision has been made yet, Gantt is likely moving towards a medical redshirt this season. The 6-foot-8 junior has yet to appear in a game for NC State as he recovers from offseason hernia surgery. Gantt averaged four points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.6 steals on 21.4 minutes per game with Providence last season.

Dunks during warmups Gantt (hernia surgery) was spotted warming up prior to Saturday's victory over Virginia, per 247 Sports, but he still did not end up taking the court.

Impact Gantt has now appeared in full uniform during warmups for several weeks now, but there's been little word on when he might be ready to take the court. NC State coach Kevin Keatts last addressed the situation Jan. 10, when Gantt was given a 2-to-3 week timetable, but there hasn't been much information offered since. It's nonetheless encouraging to see him throwing a bounce pass to himself before dunking the basketball, which suggests that if it's in the best interest of both parties, he will soon be physically ready to provide a much-needed frontcourt boost.

Still likely weeks away Gantt (abdomen) remains likely a week or two from returning, if he is indeed able to return this season, James Henderson of Inside Pack Sports reports.

Impact The news comes from an interview with Kevin Keatts that took place on Jan. 10 in which the NC State head coach game Gantt a 2-to-3 week timetable. The messages were mixed, of course, as Keatts noted that "he's close" while also mentioning "there's a possibility that it just won't happen the entire year." This development came days after a Jan. 8 matchup against Clemson in which Gantt was spotted warming up with the team (per Jonas Pope IV of the Charlotte News and Observer). Even if Gantt receives the proper medical clearance, there will likely be several conditioning hurdles to pass after not appearing in a game all season. While Gantt is more of a power forward than a center, the Wolfpack have been in desperate need of post helps since Manny Bates underwent season-ending surgery. Ebenezer Dowuona and Jaylon Gibson have worked to fill in, but NC State ranks No. 270 in the nation in defensive rebounding rate entering Tuesday's slate of games, so it's clear there's plenty more work to be done.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses fourth straight Gantt (hernia surgery) did not take the court in Wednesday's 74-58 loss to Oklahoma State, effectively missing his fourth consecutive contest.

Impact Gantt's absence has been tough for the Wolfpack to cope with, as the frontcourt depth he was expected to provide is needed even more desperately following Manny Bates' season-ending shoulder surgery. NC State has instead relied on Ebenezer Dowuona -- who fouled out of this game -- as well as fellow underclassmen Jaylon Gibson and Ernest Ross. Gantt isn't necessarily a traditional center that will fix all these problems upon his eventual return, but he'll put a much-needed dent in the issue with conference play around the corner.

NOVEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not dressed Saturday Gantt (abdomen) isn't dressed ahead of Saturday's game against Colgate, Matt Coe of TheWolfpacker.com reports.

Doesn't end up playing Gantt (abdomen) did not play in Tuesday's 88-70 win over Bucknell.

It's unclear when Gantt could first suit up this year. His next chance to do so will be Saturday against Colgate.
