Joe Grahovac - Remains out for St. Bonaventure Grahovac (leg) is still out for the Bonnies, per Frank DeBari of SB Nation.

Impact Grahovac has yet to play this season and that didn't change Saturday night against Canisius. He'll look to return to action Wednesday against Cornell.

Mason Blackwood - Getting closer to action Blackwood (foot) is out of a soft boot and is expected to return to practice in the next couple of weeks, per SBUnfurled.

Impact Blackwood's debut with the Bonnies will be on hold as the season kicks off on Tuesday against Youngstown State. The Penn State transfer suffered a foot injury on Oct. 17 against his former team.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Joe Grahovac - Ruled out Monday Grahovac is out Monday and considered day-to-day with a muscle strain in his leg, according to SBUnfurled.

Impact The St. Bonaventure forward will miss at least Monday's game, and his day-to-day status leaves his short-term outlook uncertain. Ari Fulton could be in line for a larger role while Grahovac is sidelined.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Joe Grahovac - Dealing with hamstring soreness Grahovic (hamstring) was held out of the Bonnies' exhibition game Saturday, SBUnfurled reports.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Mason Blackwood - Sidelined with foot injury Blackwood will be sidelined with a foot injury he sustained in Saturday's exhibition against Penn State, James Madden of Kansan Sports reports.

Impact This clouds the availability of Blackwood moving forward, but with the start of the regular season less than two weeks away, it's safe to say he won't be ready for the opener Nov. 2 against Youngstown State. Any missed time would further delay his chance to carve out a role with his new program.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Ermakov, who missed the last 21 games of the 2025-26 season with an ankle injury, is back in action for the Bonnies. The 6-foot-6 sophomore is amongst St. Bonaventure's starting five for the exhibition game and is expected to play a large role this season.
