Impact Abaev has missed each of the last four contests for the Bearcats due to an ankle injury. The 6-foot-8 freshman has averaged eight points and three rebounds per game for Cincinnati through 20 games this season. He still doesn't have a definitive timeline for a return, but it's encouraging to hear Miller's optimism.

Impact As Haynes had yet to appear in a game for the Bearcats this season, this news doesn't exactly come out of nowhere. The 6-foot-8 senior was reported to have suffered a knee injury in October and appears to have suffered a setback in his recovery. With no remaining eligibility, it remains to be seen whether Haynes will explore the option of a medical redshirt.
