Active Saturday Lubin (groin) is not listed on Vanderbilt's injury report ahead of Saturday's showdown with Alabama, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Ends up sitting Lubin (groin) ultimately did not take the court in Saturday's 69-53 victory over Dartmouth.

Impact It was reported pregame that Lubin felt ready to give it a go, but he ultimately wasn't deployed for the final game of Vanderbilt's non-conference schedule. That will hopefully give the sophomore forward enough time to rest and heal up in advance of next Saturday's SEC opener against Alabama. In his stead, Carter Lang picked up another start, with Tasos Kamateros seeing a minutes boost.

Out Saturday Lubin (groin) will be inactive during Saturday's showdown with Memphis, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Lubin will miss second-consecutive week with a groin injury as the Commodores face off against the Tigers. The 6-foot-8 sophomore has started in six games this season, averaging 12.7 points, six rebounds and 0.8 blocks on 27.8 minutes per game. Lubin will have his next chance to return Dec. 30, against Dartmouth.

Solid line in 2023-24 debut Lubin totaled 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 84-78 loss to North Carolina State.

Impact Lubin missed the first four games of the 2023-24 season due to a hip injury, but the Notre Dame transfer was immediately put into the starting five in his Vanderbilt debut. The results were encouraging and immediately put the 6-8 wing on the fantasy radar, as he appears in line to see a major minutes boost compared to last season with the Irish. His follow-up effort Friday against Arizona State is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

Impact Just like Lee Dort (foot) and Tyrin Lawrence (hip), Lubin is ready to make his season debut after spending the opening weeks of the season sidelined. Lubin should provide a boost to the frontcourt after averaging 6.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game as a freshman last season.

NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in opener Lubin will miss the season opener Tuesday against Presbyterian due to a hip injury, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Lubin's absence is a bit of a surprise, but it's possible it's a relatively minor issue and he's just sitting because of the opponent. Either way, Lubin will miss the opener, leaving the Commodores down some depth in the frontcourt Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be occasionally used as center Lubin will be occasionally used as a small-ball center during Vanderbilt's upcoming season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Allen-Lubin usually plays power forward and stands at 6-foot-8, a bit shorter than the average center height. However, he sports a 230-pound frame that could be game against other centers with similar weight. Should the small-ball focus materialize, Allen-Lubin could get a lot more playing time, thereby having the opportunities to increase much of his stat averages.

Scores in double digits again Lubin closed Tuesday's 68-64 loss to Duke with 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.

Impact Lubin played off the bench most of the season but has been trusted with a starting role in each of the team's last three contests, and he hasn't disappointed yet. He's recorded at least 10 points in each of those games while shooting 68.2 percent from the floor and 80 percent from the charity stripe, meaning he could very well remain in the starting unit when Notre Dame takes on Virginia on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Lubin has missed back-to-back contests as a result of ankle/heel tendon issues, but it now sounds like there's looming optimism that the 6-foot-8 freshman will be able to suit up for Wednesday's matchup. If that's indeed the case, then his presence would provide the Fighting Irish with a solid spark off the bench.

Won't play Saturday Lubin will miss Saturday's game against Louisville after tweaking his left ankle during practice Friday, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.

Impact Lubin has played four straight games after missing a brief two-game spurt with an ankle issue. It appears the same issue is at play for Saturday's absence, and it comes at an inopportune time. Lubin coming off of one of his better showings of the season, racking up 10 points, five boards and two blocks against N.C. State last time out. Noie suggests Dom Campbell could see additional run Saturday off the bench in Lubin's absence.

DNP vs. Georgia Tech Lubin (ankle) did not play during the Fighting Irish's 73-72 win Tuesday versus Georgia Tech.

Impact Despite him being ready to play again Tuesday, Lubin's injured ankle required a multi-game absence. The team hosts Syracuse on Saturday. That day is Lubin's next opportunity to return, which should be probable.

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suited up Tuesday Lubin (ankle) is dressed in uniform and warming up ahead of Tuesday's game versus Georgia Tech, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.
