Marvelous in return Toney had 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 63-60 victory over Syracuse. Impact An ankle injury held out Toney from a Dec. 22 matchup against Louisville, but the junior was given extra time to recover following the postponement of back-to-back ACC contests. He saw a career-high 14 rebounds as a result, marking just the second double-double of his three-year span with Pittsburgh. The circumstances here were a bit unique, as Pittsburgh took a hit in its post depth with the announcement that neither Noah Collier or John Hugley would be suiting up due to COVID-19 contact tracing. Justin Champagnie and his 12.3 rpg average was also sidelined, and that absence could possibly continue for another month. In any case, it appears Toney is ready to answer the call for rebounding from the wing and could be worth more short-term consideration in a variety of fantasy formats.
