Wynston Tabbs - College Basketball News & Rumors

Unimpressive across game started Tabbs accumulated five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 64-61 loss to UCF.

Impact Tabbs failed to score at least 10 points during each of his last six games played. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if he is excluded across East Carolina's starting lineups, despite the inclusion on Wednesday.

Eight points across 22 minutes Tabbs (illness) contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 79-69 victory over Wichita State.

Impact Tabbs was one two-pointer away from logging multiple digits of points. Coincidentally, his two best point tallies of the 2022-23 season are when he played more than 20 minutes both games.

DNP vs. Coppin State Tabbs did not play during the Pirates' 84-75 win Sunday versus Coppin State.

Impact According to Stephen Igoe of 247Sports, Tabbs sat out ill without COVID-19. He will try returning when the Pirates are at South Carolina on Saturday.

Scores 16 points in win Tabbs logged 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one assist over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 79-65 victory over UT Arlington.

Impact Tabbs set a new season high on Wednesday, which was also his first game of the season scoring in double-figures. The senior guard shot very well from behind the arc, making three, three-point shots. Tabbs shot very efficiently from the floor overall, though did not provide the team with much else statistically. After transferring from Boston College over the offseason, Tabbs has entered off the bench in every game this season, though on Wednesday, he more than doubled his usual minutes while riding his hot hand.

Returns to court Tuesday Tabbs (knee) added two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) during Tuesday's win over Mercer.

Impact This was Tabbs first matchup in nearly a calendar year, as the guard suffered a season-ending knee injury last December.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start against Mercer Tabbs (knee) is not in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus Mercer.

Impact Tabbs was present in pre-game warmups, so it is possible that he will play in a limited role off the bench while recovering from a knee injury. Russell Felton will start in his place Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Present in warmups Tabbs (knee) was spotted participating in pregame warmups in advance of Tuesday's season opener against Mercer, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact This is major news for Tabbs and the Pirates, as he hadn't received full clearance as of mid-October. If a return is indeed imminent, East Carolina will gain a massive scoring threat.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in practice Tabbs (knee) has been cleared for full-contact practice but has yet to be cleared for live game action, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.

Impact The most recent word on Tabbs from 10 days ago suggested the senior guard was still sidelined, so this is certainly an encouraging development. It makes a potential November return seem realistic, though there are still a few more hurdles to clear for the potential high-volume scorer.

ECU guard Wynston Tabbs to have season-ending surgery The former Boston College transfer won't suit up this year for ECU due to continued knee issues.

DECEMBER 21, 2021 • 247SPORTS.COM

Needs season-ending knee surgery East Carolina head coach Joe Dooley announced Monday that Tabbs will soon undergo knee surgery and miss the remainder of the season, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact After averaging 13.3 points per game over his 12 appearances with Boston College as a redshirt sophomore in 2020-21, Tabbs was expected to take on a high-volume scoring role for the Pirates upon transferring to East Carolina over the offseason. Instead, Tabbs will have his first campaign in Greenville wiped out by the knee injury, which he sustained in the preseason. Knee concerns are nothing new for Tabbs, who missed 16 games as a true freshman in 2018-19 before sitting out the 2019-20 season at Boston College due to knee procedure. According to Dooley, Tabbs' upcoming surgery won't be on the same knee, but the setback is troubling for the 6--foot-2 guard's long-term outlook. Tabbs should have up to two more years of eligibility to use beginning in 2022-23, and he could qualify for a seventh year of eligibility in 2024-25 if he petitions the NCAA for a medical redshirt.

Still sitting to begin season Tabbs (undisclosed) missed his third straight game Sunday against Western Carolina.

Impact Tabbs was supposedly given NCAA clearance in August, and the program hasn't said much regarding his status to begin this season, leaving all possibilities in play. In his absence, Tristen Newton has been leading the team in offensive rating and usage rate, and he also dropped 30 points in Saturday's win. The sledding is about to get much tougher for the Pirates, however, as they have a matchup with Porter Moser's Oklahoma Sooners scheduled for Thursday. It's unclear if Tabbs will be available to provide an offensive boost at that time.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Tabbs (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Friday's game Against Canisius, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The transfer from Boston College will be sidelined for the second straight game to open the season. Tabbs' next opportunity to take the court will come Sunday versus Western Carolina.

NOVEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses opener Tabbs (undisclosed) did not play against South Carolina State, Stephen Igoe of 247 Sports reports.

Impact Tabbs was deemed questionable going into opening night and the Boston College transfer was ultimately unable to suit up. He averaged over 13.0 points in each of his two seasons with Boston College and should be a contributor when healthy. East Carolina faces Canisius on Friday.

NOVEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Opener status in question Tabbs' status has yet to be determined for Tuesday's season opener against South Carolina State, Stephen Igoe of 247 Sports reports.

Impact East Carolina coach Joe Dooley did not go into much detail regarding Tabbs or several other players that are potentially banged up and may be at risk of missing the opener. There at least shouldn't be any eligibility concerns with Tabbs, as he'd be covered under the NCAA's blanked rule allowing immediate eligibility for one-time transfers. Tabbs projects as the leading scorer at ECU after averaging 13.9 ppg and 13.3 ppg across two seasons at Boston College (which were separated by a season-ending knee injury in 2019).

BC transfer Tabbs working his way back up to speed at ECU Joe Dooley provides an update on the health of Boston College transfer Wynston Tabbs.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • 247SPORTS.COM

Transferring to East Carolina Tabbs is transferring to East Carolina, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact This is a huge get for coach Joe Dooley and East Carolina, as Tabbs has agreed to join the Pirates. The junior averaged 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists during the 2018-19 campaign with Boston College and was posting a superb season with the Eagles this year before deciding to transfer.

BC’s Wynston Tabbs enters transfer portal - The Boston Globe The redshirt sophomore guard had been suspended for the rest of the season for violating COVID-19 protocols.

FEBRUARY 19, 2021 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM

Enters transfer portal Tabbs entered the NCAA transfer portal Thursday morning, Sam Marsdale of 247 Sports reports.

Impact Tabbs fell out of the starting lineup in early-January and the program was subsequently shut down due to COVID protocol. The junior had yet to appear in any of the three games since the return to action. Boston College also fired head coach Jim Christian on Monday following a 1-9 record in ACC play, so the stage was set for Tabbs to seek a change of scenery. He missed the entirety of the 2019-20 season due to a knee injury but averaged 13.9 points and 3.9 rebounds as a freshman. Even in a tumultuous 2020-21 campaign, Tabbs still nearly matched that mark with a 13.3 ppg scoring average. He'll bring scoring -- especially three-point shooting -- to whatever program he lands with, and will likely have a long list of suitors.

Will not be available for rest of season Tabbs will miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season after violating the university's COVID-19 protocols, Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Boston College underwent a recent COVID-19 outbreak, and Tabbs was one of the players that still was unable to return due to protocols. There's no specifics at this time on what Tabbs did to warrant a suspension for the rest of the season. He was averaging 13.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.3 three-pointers per contest this season. It's not clear if the 6-2 guard will return to the Eagles next season or look for a new home to finish out his career.

Still on COVID protocol Tabbs (COVID-19 protocol) will not take the floor again Saturday, Donna Ditota of The Post-Standard reports.

Impact Tabbs is one of three BC players reportedly still in the protocol and one of four who will remain unavailable for Saturday's tilt. The junior should be in line for a sizable role once he's cleared, but he will have to wait until at least Wednesday versus Georgia Tech for a chance to retake the floor.

FEBRUARY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Tabbs (not injury related) won't play in Wednesday's game against Wake Forest.

Impact Tabbs will miss a second straight as he is currently one of the Eagles that are currently sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols. The junior last played Jan. 16 against Notre Dame and posted 14 points in 28 minutes.
