The senior guard has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games and is averaging 16.6 points per contest in eight contests this season.

All-around production Leggett registered 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 73-65 victory over North Carolina.

Impact Leggett has now amassed double figures and at least one three-pointer in five consecutive contests, averaging an impressive 15.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 3.0 apg and 1.8 spg over that stretch. That run of games also included two home losses for Jeff Capel's Panthers, but Pittsburgh is now back above .500 in ACC play following back-to-back wins. Tuesday's effort was the team's highest quality win of conference play.

Starting vs. Stanford Leggett (ankle) will be starting during Saturday's matchup against Stanford, John reports.

Impact Leggett will be coming back after a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. The senior guard has scored over 15 points in each of his last three outings.

Warming up Saturday Leggett (ankle) was spotted in warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Stanford, according to Stephen Thompson of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Impact Leggett is uncertain to play, but the entire team was out for warmups and Leggett was a part of it. The star guard is averaging 17.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game this season, so his return would be massive for the Panthers.

Out against California Leggett (lower body) is out for Pittsburgh's game Wednesday against California.

Impact Pittsburgh's team will be without one of only four players averaging at least 17.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season. It will make defeating a visiting California team much more difficult, especially considering the Panthers do not have a clear-cut candidate to replace Leggett's lineup spot and production.

Impact Jaland Lowe led the Panthers in scoring in this thrilling win, but Leggett's contributions can't be overlooked. The shooting guard has now scored at least 20 points in three of his eight outings, and he forms one of the most productive backcourts in the ACC next to Lowe.

Comes close to double-double Leggett recorded 17 points (6-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Sunday's 81-75 loss to Wisconsin.
