Sees first game action since 2021-22 Chatman (knee) had 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal across 16 minutes in Monday's 71-67 exhibition victory over Daemen.

Impact Chatman has not seen the court since the 2021 season with Illinois State, as he's taken an extended recovery after tearing his ACL in January of 2022 (and potentially needed a waiver as a two-time transfer). The 6-8 forward was limited to 16 minutes -- the lowest among starters -- due to foul trouble, but he still managed to match Isaiah Adams for the team high in scoring. Chatman is capable of high production, as shown by 13.5 ppg and 6.1 rpg averages in the 2021-22 season, and now presumably healthy with a few more years of development, he could be an X-factor for Buffalo this season.

Impact Chatman will try being available before Buffalo's 2022-23 season begins. But considering the senior tore his left ACL earlier this year, fantasy managers should not be surprised if he is out until December or 2023.
