Ethan Butler - Suffers leg injury Butler (leg) sustained a leg injury during Tuesday's 76-73 loss to Temple, The Mineshaft reports.
Impact Butler limped off the court early in the second half of Tuesday's loss against the Owls, and he was spotted on the trainers' table with ice on his leg. The 6-foot-7 senior, who is averaging 3.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 17.1 minutes per game (14 games), did not return to the game. Butler's status is uncertain for Saturday's game against Wichita State.

Derrian Ford - Takes elbow to the head Ford contributed 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 76-73 victory over Charlotte.
Impact Ford took an elbow to the head from massive 49er center Anton Bonke with three minutes remaining in the game and did not return. His status for Saturday's game against UTSA is up in the air. Before leaving, Ford had his fifth game of 17 or more points in the last six contests. If Ford can't go against the Roadrunners, Masiah Gilyard could be in for a spot start.

Anton Bonke - Scores 20 off the bench Bonke had a season-high 20 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 76-73 loss to Temple.
Impact Bonke had been limited to a combined 15 points on 6-of-17 (35.3 percent) from the field in his two previous games. Coach Aaron Fearne may have used starting as a motivational tool and it seemed to work as the 7-2 center forced his way to the free throw repeatedly. He had just his second double-digit scoring game in the last eight games. Bonke and the 49ers host Wichita State on Saturday.
