Quiet off bench Tuesday Shead (ankle) had zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 74-55 win over South Florida.

Impact Coach Kelvin Sampson ruled Shead out for the next two games earlier this week due to the ankle sprain, so it was a major surprise to see him warming up and available for Tuesday's contest. The sophomore guard didn't quite look fully himself but still provided a playmaking spark off the bench with five assists. It remains to be seen if Shead is healthy enough to rejoin the starting five Saturday against East Carolina, but it appears he'll at least be available for Houston.

Impact Coach Kelvin Sampson said Monday that Shead would be unavailable the next two games due to the ankle injury, but it appears he hasn't been officially ruled out.

Sampson hinted that Shead could miss time beyond this week, but for now, the Cougars are ruling out the sophomore guard for the next two contests.

Doubtful to return Saturday Shead (ankle) is doubtful to return to Saturday's contest against Tulsa, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.
