Fouls out after starting Sunday Shannon fouled out of Sunday's 72-60 loss to Ohio State after recording 10 points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes.

Impact Shannon played 29 minutes for the second game in a row following his two-game hiatus due to a concussion. While Sunday's loss marked his first game back in the starting lineup, Illinois' leading scorer logged a much rougher performance against the Buckeyes compared to Sunday's 66-62 win over Northwestern, when he put up 26 points while shooting 8-of-10 from the floor and 6-of-9 from the charity stripe. Nevertheless, Shannon's ability to log significant playing time for the second consecutive game is an encouraging sign for his availability heading into the team's final two regular-season games.

Part of starting lineup Shannon is part of Illinois' starting lineup Sunday at Ohio State, according to Joey Wagner of 247Sports.

Impact Shannon did not need multiple games to prove he should be part of Illinois' starting lineup again. He logged 26 points (8-10 FG, 4-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT) across his 29 minutes when the Fighting Illini hosted Northwestern on Wednesday.

Available but won't start Thursday Shannon is not listed in the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against Northwestern, Joey Wagner of 247Sports reports.

Impact Shannon was deemed available to play ahead of Thursday's contest after he missed two games in a row with a concussion. However, the 6-foot-6 senior, who has started all 25 of his games, is now set to come off the bench for the first time this season. Ramses Melendez will continue to start in Shannon's place Thursday.

Good to go Thursday Shannon (concussion) will be available for Thursday's contest against Northwestern, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Shannon will return to the court after missing back-to-back games while in concussion protocol. The 6-foot-6 senior has been the Illini's top scorer this season, averaging 17.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists while playing 31.6 minutes per contest this season. However, it's unclear if Shannon will immediately reprise his spot in the starting lineup Thursday, or if he could be in line to come off the bench during his first game back.

Remains in protocols Shannon is still in concussion protocols Wednesday but is in a practice uniform working out, Derek Piper of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Shannon's status for Thursday's game versus Northwestern is in doubt, as he has missed the previous two games while in concussion protocols. If he can't play Thursday, his next opportunity to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with Ohio State.

Out Monday Shannon (concussion) will be inactive for Monday's showdown with Minnesota, Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette reports.

Impact Shannon will remain out for the second-straight game in concussion protocol during Monday's matchup with the Gophers. The 6-foot-6 senior has started in 25 games this season, logging 17 points, five rebounds, three assists and 1.4 steals on 31.6 minutes per game. In his absence, Ramses Melendez (who started against Indiana on Saturday). will likely start.

Uncertain to play Monday Illinois head coach Brad Underwood said Shannon (concussion) is day-to-day heading into Monday's game against Minnesota, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Though Illinois hasn't officially ruled Shannon out ahead of Monday's 9 p.m. ET opening tip, the fact that Underwood hasn't yet confirmed that the 6-foot-6 senior wing hasn't cleared the concussion protocol doesn't offer much hope that he'll be available. Assuming Shannon sits out his second game in a row, Ramses Melendez could be in store for another start on the wing.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In concussion protocol Shannon is in concussion protocol, according to Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.

Impact This is not surprising news, but it was to be expected despite it not being publicized and further indicates the likelihood that Shannon will sit out Illinois' upcoming matchup, which is scheduled to be a home game Monday against Minnesota.

Scores 20 in loss Shannon fouled out of Tuesday's 93-81 loss to Penn State after recording 20 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals over 35 minutes.

Impact Shannon scored at least 20 points for the first time in six games but couldn't best Jalen Pickett scoring 41 on the other side. A rather underwhelming season for Shannon is nearing its finish but he he could finish strong by getting to the foul line, where he's made 17 shots from 19 attempts in the last three games. It's also important to note that he's fouled out twice in that span and has made at least three fouls in four of the last five contests.

Collects 26 points in loss Shannon provided 26 points (8-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-10 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 80-65 loss to Indiana.

Impact Shannon scored the most points in his last 15 games but it wasn't enough with Trayce Jackson-Davis scoring 35 on the other side. In his last five games, Shannon has scored at least 24 points on three occasions. He needs to show more consistency from the floor but since he takes a high number of shots Shannon still holds good potential for the Illini.
