Enters starting five Ambrose-Hylton is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Florida A&M.

Impact Ambrose-Hylton will enter the starting lineup in place of Matt Cross, who was ruled out earlier today with a back injury. Ambrose-Hylton impressed in the team's debut with 12 points, five rebounds and two blocks in 26 minutes off the bench and should see an even more extended role with Cross unavailable.

Not part of starting lineup Ambrose-Hylton is not part of the Mustangs' starting lineup Sunday at Wichita State, according to their Twitter account.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Samuell Williamson was added to the Mustangs' starting lineup in place of Ambrose-Hylton. The backup option has fewer than five games started across their last 10 games played.

Eight points across limited time Ambrose-Hylton produced eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), two rebounds and two blocks over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 72-71 win over Temple.

Impact Ambrose-Hylton has 19.7 minutes averaged across his three games started as a junior. But for the playing time's worth, he was a decent scorer, as his 7.7-point average can attest.

Starting Wednesday night Ambrose-Hylton will notch a start for SMU on Wednesday night against Temple.

Impact Ambrose-Hylton will log his first start since Jan. 11, in which he put up six points and four rebounds over 20 minutes. It's just the third start of the season for the forward, although he has seen his minutes increase as the season progresses.

Returns to bench Ambrose-Hylton isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Cincinnati.

Part of starting lineup Sunday Ambrose-Hylton logged nine points (4-4 FG, 1-3 FT) and four rebounds across 22 minutes during SMU's 85-53 loss Sunday at Central Florida.

Impact Zhuric Phelps (undisclosed) was out Sunday, so SMU replaced him using Ambrose-Hylton instead of another guard. He played well despite the team's overall output being unimpressive that day. Ambrose-Hylton averaged 6.3 points and 3.7 rebounds from Dec. 10 to Jan. 8.

Returns in exhibition play Ambrose-Hylton (knee) had two points (1-4 FG) and five rebounds across 13 minutes in Sunday's 73-68 exhibition victory over Louisiana.

Impact A knee injury suffered in early-October was projected to sideline the sophomore guard for 2-3 weeks, but the fact Ambrose-Hylton was able to suit up for a low-stakes exhibition suggests it shouldn't be an issue in the regular season. While exhibition box scores should be taken with a grain of salt, the fact Ambrose-Hylton logged 13 minutes in what ended up being a five-point game bodes well for his chances of improving upon a 4.2 mpg average from a season ago.

Sidelined 2-3 weeks Ambrose-Hylton will be sidelined for the next 2-to-3 weeks due to a dislocated knee cap, Cecil Hurt of The Tuscaloosa News reports.

Impact On a positive note, Ambrose-Hylton is expected to be ready for the start of the season, so the sophomore appears to have avoided a major blow. As a freshman last year, he averaged just 4.2 minutes off the bench in his 18 appearances, but he could have a chance to carve out a slightly larger role in 2021-22 if he can stay healthy.
