Available for championship game Pinzon (illness) is available for Bryant's game Saturday against Maine, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Food poisoning prevented Pinzon's availability for the 2025 America East Tournament semifinals. Fortunately for him, Bryant defeated Albany without him, cementing the Bulldogs a chance to win the aforementioned tourney that would get them into March Madness. During their other matchup this tournament, Pinzon logged 22 points against Maryland-Baltimore County. At the beginning of March, he scored 28 (9-20 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 4-4 FT) against Maine, so the Bulldogs will have high expectations for him Saturday.

Plays through lower body injury Pinzon (lower body) posted six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Saturday's 81-55 win over Maine.

Impact Pinzon didn't start in his return from injury, and played the fewest minutes he has all season, but he still managed to knock down two triples in Bryant's win over Maine. The guard should be good to go moving forward, but it remains to be seen when he'll return to the starting five.

Warming up, not among starters Pinzon (lower body) is warming up before Saturday's game versus Maine but isn't in the starting lineup, Nick Coit of ABC 6 reports.

Impact Pinzon was reported to be nearing a return to action, so his presence on the court for warmups isn't a huge surprise. Given that he's been sidelined nearly a month, it's possible Pinzon will return off the bench Saturday with limited minutes, though he also may not quite be ready to return.

Nearing return Pinzon (lower body) is getting closer to a return, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Pinzon reportedly took part in practice for Bryant, at least partially, on Friday. However, it's still unclear if he'll be able to make his return against Maine on Saturday. The guard averages 18.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

Will sit out game again Pinzon (lower body) is out for Bryant's game Monday at Grand Canyon, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Pinzon did not play when Bryant played at Towson on Dec. 22. Monday will include another DNP.

Out Saturday Pinzon (lower body) won't play Saturday against Fordham, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Pinzon appeared to suffer the injury in Tuesday's loss to St. John's. It's a tough blow for Bryant -- Pinzon had averaged 18.8 points over 32.9 minutes in 12 games to start the year. His next chance to suit up will come Dec. 22 against Towson.
