Not warming up Monday Ongenda (wrist) isn't warming up ahead of Monday's game against Loyola Maryland, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Ongenda was deemed questionable ahead of Monday's regular-season opener, but he had a bandage on his left wrist ahead of the game and will likely be unavailable. Assuming that's the case, Yor Anei is a candidate to see additional work at center.

While it's unclear what injury he's dealing with, his status for Monday's regular-season opener is in question. If he's held out, Yor Anei would likely see increased playing time.

Impact Ongenda has averaged 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists during 25.5 minutes over the last four games. He has shaken his scoring slump from January when he averaged 3.9 points over eight games. The senior's improved offensive production has helped DePaul win its last two games and he will look to help the Blue Devils to a third-straight win against Marquette on Wednesday.

The center who has shot 51.6 percent from the field this season was sorely missed after fouling out in overtime of Saturday's loss. Over five games since rejoining the starting lineup on Jan. 25, the junior has averaged 7.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks during 26 minutes.

Returned to action Thursday Ongenda (hand) logged four points (1-3 FG, 2-3 FT) and two rebounds across 14 minutes during Thursday's 96-92 win over Seton Hall.

Impact Though he was not in the starting five, Ongenda returned to the floor after missing the team's previous matchup with a right hand injury. The 6-foot-11 center only scored four points and grabbed two rebounds in his limited time on the floor.

Warming up ahead of Thursday's game Ongenda (hand) is warming up ahead of Thursday's game against Seton Hall, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Ongenda missed the team's last game with a right hand injury. He was seen with his finger tapped up in warmups. Ongenda should get the start if he indeed suits up.

Unavailable Tuesday Ongenda is out for Tuesday's game against Marquette due to a right hand injury, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but Ongenda will miss his first game of the season Tuesday, and his availability for Thursday's matchup with Seton Hall is also in question. Yor Anei will enter the starting lineup at center for DePaul in his absence.

Contributes 10 points Ongenda supplied 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-7 FT), three rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 63-59 loss to Butler.

Impact Ongenda made a splash with a monster dunk in the first two minutes of play. He wouldn't play his normal minutes, the junior was ejected for leaving his team's bench and as a result, he missed a portion of the game. He still logged a career-high-tying seven free throw attempts but struggled in an uncharacteristic fashion from the stripe. Through the first eight games of the season, he shot 72 percent from the free-throw line, in his last three appearances he has made just 22 percent. He will look to leave this game behind him, even though he was one of three Blue Devils to tally double-digit points on the night.
