Eric Dibami - DNP Saturday Dibami (undisclosed) did not appear in Saturday's 76-63 loss against Sam Houston.
Impact Dibami miss his second game of the season due to undisclosed reasons as the Panthers were taken down by the Bearkats on Saturday. The 6-foot-10 freshman, who is averaging 9.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.5 blocks across 16 starts, will have his next opportunity to return Thursday against UTEP.

Veljko Ilic - Available at FIU Ilic (ankle) is available for Saturday's game at Florida International, Sports of SHSU reports.
Impact Fortunately for Ilic, his ankle scare appears to be a short-term problem. In conference games this month, he has averaged a double-double, providing much-needed scoring and rebounding for a middling team. Both the Bearkats and New Mexico State will look to escape the Conference USA's basement with a win over the other Saturday.

Veljko Ilic - Questionable at FIU Ilic (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game at Florida International, Sports of SHSU reports.
Impact Ilic suffered an ankle injury during Sam Houston's latest game, logged Wednesday at Jacksonville State. Considering he is averaging 14.6 points and 10.6 rebounds in conference games this month, the Bearkats not having him at Florida International would be a big loss. Ideally for SHSU, Ilic's ankle injury is nothing more than a minor scare.

Kennedy Brown - Available Saturday Brown (undisclosed) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with Sam Houston.
Impact Brown will return after a two-game absence due to an injury. The senior forward will aim to make the most of his opportunities.
