Scratched Thursday Koulibaly was unavailable for Thursday's game against Cal.

Impact Koulibaly typically only plays a handful of minutes off the bench, so his absence likely didn't change the Coogs rotation too much. Still, it's worth noting that Wazzu was down a little depth in the backcourt and could be against Saturday versus Cal if Koulibably can't make it back.

Misses second straight Koulibaly ended up not taking the court in Saturday's 77-74 loss to South Dakota State.

Impact It was reported before the game that Koulibaly has been cleared from the personal matter that caused him to sit out a Dec. 8 contest against Weber State, but he ultimately didn't end up taking the court. His minutes totals were a bit sporadic leading up to this absence anyway, so it could simply be a matter of the freshman not quite having a secure rotation spot yet. His next chance to take the court will be Wednesday against New Mexico State, but even if he does suit up, the 6-3 guard likely still isn't on the fantasy radar.

Ready to roll Koulibaly (personal) will return to the floor Saturday versus South Dakota State, Colton Clark of the Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact Koulibaly played six or fewer minutes in three of his last four games, so his return to the rotation may not mean a ton for his fantasy value. However, the Cougars will be down a couple of other rotation members Saturday, so Koulibaly could see a few more minutes.

Saturday status uncertain Koulibaly's status for Saturday's matchup against South Dakota State is uncertain after he sat out Wednesday due to a personal matter, Colton Clark of the Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact Koulibaly had been serving in a backcourt depth role for the Cougars which resulted in six or less minutes in three of his last four games. Details on his absence remain unclear, but until further notice, Michael Flowers and Noah Williams will be splitting the lion's share of the ball-handling responsibility.

Back from arm injury Koulibaly (arm) had 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 18 minutes in Tuesday's 85-67 victory over Alcorn State.

Impact Koulibaly missed the entirety of what would have been his freshman season with the Cougars due to an arm injury, but he was back in action and served as WSU's top-scoring reserve on the season's opening day. The 6-3 guard from Montreal should be set to see reserve backcourt minutes moving forward.
