WESLEY YATES III NEWS

Four triples, little else in loss Yates recorded 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 82-80 loss to UCLA.

Impact Yates shot 40 percent from distance against the Bruins but missed every other attempt from two-point range. The guard is chucking up 6.1 three-pointers each game, but only hitting 34.7 percent of them at the moment. Still, he's supplying 4.5 rebounds per game, as he's taken it upon himself to crash the glass more so than his freshman year at USC. Yates is already a problem, but he'll be even more dangerous if he can find a little more consistency.

Leading scorer in nail-biter Yates chipped in 23 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-14 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 99-93 2OT win over Southern University.

Impact Yates has filled it up as of late; he has 49 total points over his last two games. He wasn't the most efficient as Washington squeaked past Southern, and his five turnovers certainly didn't help matters. Still, he remains the Huskies' best pure scorer and bucket-getter.

As advertised in Huskies debut Yates closed with 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 94-50 victory over UAPB.

Impact Yates averaged 14.1 points with USC as a freshman, and in his first game in Seattle, he immediately matched that number. Yates wasn't as proficient as he normally was from distance -- he shot 43.3 percent from beyond the arc last season -- but still managed to have a productive outing. Notably, he was a nuisance defensively with a block and three steals, something that wasn't a consistent part of his game last season.

Leaving Los Angeles Yates will enter the transfer portal, Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Yates reportedly has a "do not contact" tag in the portal, meaning he's likely already got a destination in mind. The guard is coming off a true freshman season in which he averaged 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists and shot 44 percent from distance. Yates is a walking bucket, and he figures to start immediately with his next program.

DNP Thursday Yates (undisclosed) did not play in Thursday's loss to Villanova.

Impact Yates closed out the season missing the final two games with an apparent injury. The freshman guard had an excellent scoring campaign, averaging 14.1 points while shooting 43.9 from three and 47.8 from the floor.

Not starting Thursday Yates (undisclosed) is not in the starting five for Thursday's game versus Villanova, Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Yates looks set to miss his second straight game as he continues to deal with an undisclosed injury. He started 24 straight games prior to missing the opening round of the College Basketball Crown, so his absence from the starting lineup is a strong indication that he will not be available.
