Mike Nuga - College Basketball News & Rumors

Doesn't practice Monday Nuga (rest) didn't practice Monday, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Nuga played a season-high 35 minutes during Friday's loss to Boise State and received a maintenance day Monday, but he's still expected to play in Wednesday's contest at Fresno State. The 6-foot-2 senior has started the last eight games and has averaged 5.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assist in 23.8 minutes during that stretch.

Will start Thursday Nuga will start against Air Force on Thursday, Tyler Bischoff reports.

Impact Nuga is starting in place of Josh Baker (undisclosed) so this start will not likely continue into other games. Nuga should have an opportunity to score more than usual with the increased minutes as a starter.

Five points in return Nuga provided five points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and three rebounds in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 84-71 victory over Omaha.

Impact Nuga had missed the team's last game against Hartford with a knee injury. Whatever it was appears minor, as he was able to get in 18 minutes on Wednesday. Nuga should continue to play a solid role off the bench for UNLV.

Going through warmups Wednesday Nuga (knee) warmed up and is in uniform for Wednesday's game against Omaha, Sam Gordon of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact After missing Saturday's game against Hartford due to a knee injury, it appears Nuga may return to the court against Omaha. The graduate transfer is averaging 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 23.0 minutes per game this season and should provide UNLV a boost off the bench.

Unlikely to play Saturday Nuga (knee) is not expected to face Hartford on Saturday, Paloma Villicana of FOX 5 reports.

Impact Nuga wasn't spotted during warmups and is expected to be out of this contest, the same as Victor Iwaukor. The loss of Nuga is big, however, as he's averaging 8.3 points per game so far. If he can't go Saturday, which is the most likely scenario, then his next chance to play would come next Wednesday at home against Omaha.

Sits practice after knee collision Nuga didn't take part in practice Friday after a "knee-to-knee" collision during Wednesday's game versus Seattle, Sam Gordon of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Nuga's status for Saturday is likely up in the air as a result. It's an unfortunate time for the injury to occur, as Nuga was in the midst of his best game of the season, posting 21 points, eight assists and five rebounds over 30 minutes in a bench role. More information will likely surface ahead of the opening tip.
