Will be available Saturday Pack (eye) will be available for Saturday's game against Iowa State, according to Grant Flanders of Rivals.com.

Impact As expected, Pack will be available for Saturday's contest after overcoming an eye infection. Pack only missed one game due to this and has been playing well of late, since he's averaging 14.0 points, 4.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game over his last nine appearances.

Expected to play Saturday Pack (eye) returned to practice this week and is expected to play Saturday against Iowa State, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Pack has spent the past week and a half dealing with pink eye, forcing him to miss last Saturday's game against West Virginia. He's since been able to return to practice and is likely to play Saturday against the Cyclones in the regular-season finale.

MARCH 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will sit Saturday Pack won't take part in Saturday's clash with West Virginia due to an eye infection, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Pack has started all of the 21 games he's appeared in this season but is set for his fifth absence of the campaign Saturday. With Pack unavailable, DaJuan Gordon and Antonio Gordon will start, while Mike McGuirl may be the op option on the ball.

Team-high 22 points in narrow loss Pack notched a team-high 22 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT) and added five rebounds and two assists in the loss to Texas on Tuesday.

Impact Pack has been one of the few bright spots this season for the Wildcats. Since returning from a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, Pack is averaging 17.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.6 three-pointers, and 3.4 assists over these past five games. He should continue to have the green light going forward the rest of the season. Kansas State will face Oklahoma State on Saturday next.

Expected back Wednesday Pack (not injury related) did not play Saturday against West Virginia but is expected to rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's clash against Baylor, Kellis Robinett of The Wichita Eagl...

Impact Pack has missed four straight games since being sidelined by COVID-19 earlier this month but is expected to be back for Wednesday's tilt against No. 2 Baylor. The 6-0 freshman was in uniform for Saturday's action and even warmed up with the team but ultimately was not physically ready to return. Pack will have a few more days to practice as he gears up for an unwelcoming return against Baylor's top-ranked defense. He's averaging 10.7 points, 3.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 32.2 minutes per game and desperately will need to bring some life to K-State's offense as they haven't scored over in 70 points since he's been out.

In uniform but may not play Pack is in uniform for Saturday's game against West Virginia but may not play, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact A report from earlier suggested Pack would be back in action Saturday, but Robinett seems to be singing a different tune. Based on the conflicting reports, it may be best to consider him questionable to take part in the action versus the Mountaineers.

Appears ready to return Pack (not injury related) is apparently set to return for Saturday's clash against West Virginia, Riley Gates of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Pack has missed the Wildcats' last three games with what is believed to have been a positive COVID-19 test. His return is a bit shocking as head coach Bruce Weber said Tuesday that Pack would be out for at least another week. Regardless, his return gives Kansas State a much-needed spark as he's averaged 10.7 points and leads the team with 3.6 assists per game. Pack has started all 12 games he's played in although it's unclear if Weber will re-incorporate him into the lineup right away.

JANUARY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out another week at least Coach Bruce Weber said that Pack (undisclosed) will not be ready to play until next week at the earliest, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Pack has been dealing with issues related to COVID-19 and has been unable to practice. The earliest he could return is sounding like next Wednesday against Baylor.

JANUARY 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing again Tuesday Pack (undisclosed) will not play in Tuesday's game against Oklahoma, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Pack had reported feeling some COVID-19 symptoms a little over a week ago and he still has yet to return to the team. The freshman's next chance to return would be on Saturday against West Virginia.

JANUARY 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to miss multiple games Pack complained of COVID-19 symptoms Thursday and is expected to miss multiple games, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Pack hasn't necessarily tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll be sidelined in order to prevent potential spread. Seryee Lewis will also miss several games due to contact tracing since the two players are roommates. Rueadale Williams is starting in Pack's place Saturday and should continue to do so while Pack is sidelined.

JANUARY 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Pack (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Oklahoma State, Derek Young of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Pack had started each of the first 12 games of his freshman season, but he'll be unavailable Saturday for an unspecified reason. Rueadale Williams should see increased playing time in his absence. It's not yet clear whether Pack will be able to return Wednesday against Iowa State.
