Could miss rest of season Vavers (hand) will "most likely" miss the rest of the season with broken bones on both hands, Greg Woods of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact Vavers has featured in only two games this season, so his absence isn't going to affect many fantasy rosters. While he hasn't been officially ruled out for the rest of the campaign, it'd be surprising if he suits up for the Cougars again in the 2024-25 season.

Vavers has yet to start a game this season, but his absence strips Washington State of some depth on the wing.

Out for remainder of game Vavers (hand) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Nevada, Greg Woods of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact Vavers had missed multiple games tending to a hand injury and seems to have re-aggravated that same injury and will be forced to sit out the remainder of the contest. More news regarding his availability will surface in the coming days.
