Royce Hamm - College Basketball News & Rumors

Double-double in defeat Hamm closed with 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 10 rebounds over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 64-57 win over Wyoming.

Impact Hamm has put together a quality stretch of play, averaging 9.7 points and 9.4 rebounds over his last seven games. While he has three double-digit rebounding games in that span, this was only the second double-double of that stretch. The Texas transfer will continue to be a key piece for UNLV, though the Rebels will need close to a miracle run if they hope to go dancing in March.

Will play Friday Hamm (illness) will rejoin the action Friday against Colorado State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Hamm missed practice Wednesday due to an illness but will avoid missing any game action because of it. He should retain his usual role in the starting five but will aim for a better showing than the three points and four boards he posted against San Diego State last time out.

Dealing with illness Hamm (illness) did not practice on Wednesday, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Both Hamm and Marvin Coleman were out of practice with non-COVID related illnesses. It's unclear if either will be able to suit up Friday against Colorado State. Hamm has been an important piece for the Rebels in the middle both offensively and defensively.

Plays through ankle injury Hamm contributed five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 83-62 loss to San Francisco.

Impact According to Paloma Villicana of FOX 5 Las Vegas, Hamm limped off the court at one point while favoring his right ankle, but he was ultimately able to return to the contest. Since transferring from Texas, Hamm has gone from a reserve seeing single-digit minutes to the primary starting center, posting 8.4 ppg and 9.7 rpg for the Rebels. That trend should continue barring any setbacks, though David Muoka would be in line to see additional run should Hamm be limited in any way moving forward.

Sits again Saturday Hamm did not take the court for the second consecutive game in Saturday's 70-55 victory over TCU.

Impact Hamm's playing time seems to have scaled back with the Texas frontcourt returning to full strength, but he certainly didn't help his case by tweeting his displeasure after being a healthy scratch last Tuesday. Provided he's available and not facing discipline, the senior's appears to be limited to a depth role until further notice.

Tensions with program rising Hamm appeared to be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's 80-77 victory over Kansas State, 247 Sports reports.

Impact Hamm was given a start back on Jan. 26 when the Texas frontcourt was in dire straits due to COVID-19 protocol, but he's seen his playing time significantly diminish with the return of Greg Brown and Jericho Sims. The frustrations regarding playing time seemed to boil over, as Hamm allegedly tweeted "loyalty means nothing nowadays!" from his personal twitter account before later deleting the post. Commenting on the situation, coach Shaka Smart relayed that Hamm didn't do anything wrong, but that he was instead looking to get Jase Febres and Kamaka Hepa some playing time. It's unclear if there will be additional consequences for Hamm extending into Saturday's matchup against TCU.

Plays eight minutes Saturday Hamm (undisclosed) totaled zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound and one assist over eight minutes in Saturday's 72-70 win over West Virginia.

Impact Hamm missed two consecutive games for an unspecified reason, but he traveled with the team ahead of Saturday's contest and played a minimal role against the Mountaineers. He hasn't generated much production off the bench this year but should be available going forward.

Travels with team Hamm (undisclosed) joined the team on its trip to West Virginia for Saturday's game versus the Mountaineers, Dustin McComas of the Rivals.com reports.

Impact Hamm's presence on the trip is a signal that he's nearing a return to action, though his status for Saturday hasn't been confirmed at this point. That should get straightened out ahead of the noon ET tip-off Saturday.

Out again Tuesday Hamm (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's game against Iowa State, Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman reports.

Impact Hamm will miss a second straight as he continues to deal with an undisclosed issue. The senior played in the first eight games this season and averaged 2.6 points and 3.8 rebounds in 11.1 minutes.

JANUARY 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Hamm is inactive for Saturday's game against Kansas, Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.com reports.

Impact It's unclear what exactly is bothering Hamm but he was not brought along for the trip to Lawrence. The 6-9 senior has averaged 2.6 points and 3.8 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game this season and so his absence will leave the Longhorns a little short for depth in their frontcourt as they look to upset the Jayhawks on the road.
