Marcus Allen - Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma Allen is out for the remainder of Miami's ongoing season due to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

According to the Hurricanes' X account, he has commenced chemotherapy, and it is expected to keep him out indefinitely.

Tre Donaldson - Records double-double Donaldson had 10 points (3-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 98-81 victory over FIU.

Impact Donaldson struggled badly with his shot and needed 14 shots to get to 10 points, but he made a massive impact as a playmaker by dishing out a season-high 12 assists. This was the third straight game in which Donaldson posted at least 10 assists, and he's also scored in double digits in every game so far in 2025-26.

Shelton Henderson - Goes off for 30 points Tuesday Henderson recorded 30 points (10-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 98-81 victory over FIU.

Impact Henderson was doubtful to play Tuesday, but not only did he end up starting, but he also led the team in scoring by a wide margin. Five of the eight Miami players who saw action Tuesday scored in double digits for the Hurricanes. Henderson should continue to play a significant role on offense for Miami as long as he stays healthy.

Impact Henderson was dealt a foot injury in the first half of Miami's win over UL-Monroe, throwing his status for Tuesday night into question. Still, the freshman wing, who's started every game this season, will be good to go against the Panthers.

The 6-foot-9 forward also complemented his scoring prowess well, as he reeled in 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the campaign. He's now surpassed 20 points in four of his last six showings, and he's averaging 20.4 points and 6.9 rebounds over 25.9 minutes per game.

Impact Malovec's game log has been wildly inconsistent, but he served as the sixth man Saturday and turned in his best scoring performance out of the season. At this point, however, the freshman isn't much more than a streak shooter, giving Miami an outside shooting option off the bench on days he gets hot. He's shooting 41.7 percent from distance on the year.
