Out for 4-6 weeks Dawson (ankle) will remain sidelined for 4-6 weeks with an ankle injury, Kevin Sweeney of Sports Illustrated reports.

Out against Bradley Dawson (illness) is out for the Ramblers' game Wednesday against Bradley, according to Nick Neumayer of NBC Sports Chicago.

Impact Dawson's season continuing will depend on how the Ramblers do Wednesday against Bradley. If they lose, their 2023-24 campaign is finished right there and then. A win over Bradley would prolong the Ramblers' campaign for one more game against either San Francisco or Cincinnati.

Sits with ankle injury Dawson suffered an ankle injury that forced him to miss Tuesday's 77-62 victory over St. Louis, Nick Neumayer of NBC Chicago reports.

Impact Dawson missed time earlier this season with a foot injury but had started the last 11 games for the Ramblers leading up to Tuesday, averaging 10.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 25.1 mpg over that span. No timetable has been established for Dawson's return, which isn't surprising given the team failed to disclose any information on the injury prior to tip-off. Sheldon Edwards ended up drawing the start in Dawson's stead, but Edwards logged just 12 minutes in the contest. It was seemingly Greg Dolan who got the biggest minutes bump. Dawson's next chance to take the court will be Sunday against Davidson.
