Drissa Traore - DNP Wednesday Traore (back) did not appear in Wednesday's 84-75 loss against VCU.

Impact Traore was sidelined with a back injury, missing his first game in just under two months as the Rhode Island Rams were taken down by the VCU Rams on Wednesday night. The 6-foot-8 senior, who is averaging 1.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.5 blocks on 8.9 minutes per game (12 games), will have his next opportunity to return next Wednesday against Richmond.

Lazar Djokovic - Out at Rhode Island Djokovic (undisclosed) is out against the Rams on Wednesday, per Adam Epstein of The Fan Richmond.

Impact Djokovic will miss his first game of the season, and this will be a sizable loss for VCU, as he averages 13.7 points and 5.6 rebounds. Keyshawn Mitchell should see more minutes in his stead.

Drissa Traore - Question mark Wednesday Traore (back) is questionable to face VCU on Wednesday.

Impact Traore has played in 12 straight games after missing the first five contests of the season, but he's a question mark against VCU. The senior forward averages just 1.9 points and 1.6 rebounds; this wouldn't be a huge loss for the Rams.

Lazar Djokovic - Deemed questionable Djokovic (undisclosed) is questionable for VCU's tilt at Rhode Island on Wednesday.

Impact Djokovic was out of VCU's starting five in the last game, a road loss to George Mason. Now, the starting center is questionable to even suit up against the Rams. This would be a big loss for VCU, as Djokovic averages 13.7 points and 5.6 rebounds.
