Julius Thedford - Starts, scores 16 Thedford chipped in 16 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Sunday's 92-78 loss to UNLV.
Impact Thedford was one of the few bright spots in what was a rough game for the Tigers. He made his first start of the season. The 6-4 sophomore fouled out after 11 minutes against Ole Miss on Tuesday. As coach Anfernee Hardaway looks for answers, Thedford may get more playing time, particularly against tough opponents like Purdue against whom Memphis plays on Thursday.

Naas Cunningham - Low scoring day Cunningham (ankle) recorded four points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 16 minutes during Sunday's 92-78 victory over Memphis.
Impact Cunningham was previously listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest but was able to suit up against Memphis. The 6-foot-7 freshman was mostly ineffective in his time on the floor, scoring four points on just 1-for-7 shooting from the floor without recording another statistic. He will hope for more effective days moving forward, starting with a matchup against St. Joe's on Thurday.

Hasan Abdul Hakim - Out Sunday Abdul Hakim (quad) is not participating in pregame warmup and will be out for Sunday's matchup against UNLV, per Roman Cleary of Bluff City Media.
Impact Abdul Hakim will miss yet another game for Memphis due to a quad injury. The 6-foot-8 wing has yet to appear in a game for the Tigers this season since transferring in from UT-Rio Grande Valley in the off-season, where he averaged 13.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game last season. His next chance to return will come against Purdue on Thursday.

Naas Cunningham - Doubtful Sunday Cunningham (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game at Memphis, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Cunningham is set to miss his first game of the season with an ankle injury. The 6-foot-7 freshman has been a huge spark off the bench for the Rebels so far this season, averaging 15 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists. If he ends up being out as expected, he'll aim for a return versus St. Joseph's this Thursday.
