Baye Ndongo Injury News & Updates

Ndongo chipped in 21 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 72-68 win over Duke.

The Yellow Jackets impressed Saturday and pulled the upset against Duke, and Ndongo was one of the players that stood out the most. He has made just three appearances this season after opening the year on the injured list, and maybe this is the game that will spark his breakout moving forward.

Ndongo logged eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and one steal across his 24 minutes during Georgia Tech's 89-54 loss Wednesday at Cincinnati.

Ndongo's eight rebounds and three blocks indicate promise as a big man at the collegiate level. However, he missed most of his shots and logged seven turnovers despite playing fewer than 25 minutes. Ideally for Georgia Tech, Ndongo can ease up on mistakes, because it seems like the Yellow Jackets will significantly rely on him moving forward. After all, he began his collegiate career as part of their starting lineup.

Ndongo is in the starting five to face Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Ndongo was cleared to make his collegiate debut against the Bearcats after missing the team's first three games of the 2023 season. However, and against all odds, he has been included in the starting unit right away, sending Tafara Gapare to the bench.

Ndongo (hand) has been cleared ahead of Wednesday's game against Cincinatti, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Ndongo is expected to make his collegiate debut against the Bearcats after missing the team's first three games of the 2023 season. The 6-foot-9 freshman, a three-star recruit in the class of 2023, will likely be eased into the fray Wednesday.

Ndongo (hand) is likely available for Georgia Tech's game at Cincinnati on Nov. 22, according to Kelly Quinlan of Rivals.com.

Ndongo could be available and begin his collegiate career before Thanksgiving. However, Georgia Tech's team has one game scheduled prior to playing at Cincinnati. Ndongo will be out when the Yellow Jackets host Massachusetts-Lowell on Tuesday.

Ndongo (hand) is out for one week, according to Jeff Goodman of Stadium.

Ndongo being out a week indicates he will be unavailable when the Yellow Jackets host Georgia Southern (Monday) and Howard (Thursday). So currently, his next opportunity to play is against Massachusetts-Lowell on Nov. 14.

Ndongo (hand) is questionable for the Yellow Jackets' game Monday against Georgia Southern, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Ndongo's hand injury prevented him from playing when the Yellow Jackets hosted Clark Atlanta for their exhibition game Wednesday. There is a decent chance the freshman may have to push back his collegiate debut if his problem does not get resolved within a few days.
