Graham Ike Injury News & Updates

Ike supplied 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 76-57 win over Syracuse.

It's been a bit of a slow start to the season for the Wyoming transfer, as Gonzaga cruised against overmatched opponents in the first two games of the season, and then Ike was limited by foul trouble Monday against Purdue. He came through Tuesday, however, logging his second double-double of the season and best rebounding total through four games, in addition to recording four steals -- a nice bonus for fantasy managers in rotisserie formats. Ike will be tested again late Wednesday in the Maui Invitational third-place game, as he'll face a UCLA frontcourt anchored by the likes of Adem Bona and Aday Mara.

Ike scored 24 points (one 11-of-13 shooting) and grabbed seven rebounds in Friday's 96-58 exhibition win over Lewis-Clark State.

Ike made his return to the court Friday and led the team with 24 points on an impressive 84.6 percent shooting clip. Ike missed all of last season with a foot injury and has been sitting out in the preseason due to a leg injury. Now that he is back healthy he figures to be an important part of this Bulldogs' team. In his one full season (at Wyoming) he averaged 19.5 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 33 starts.

Ike did not participate in Gonzaga's Kraziness in the Kennel intrasquad scrimmage on Oct. 7 due to a leg injury, Zach White of the Gonzaga Bulletin reports.

Ike missed all of last season due to a foot injury, but the year before, he was one of the best players in the Mountain West, averaging 19.5 points and 9.6 rebounds for Wyoming. It was reported earlier this offseason following his decision to transfer to Gonzaga that Ike had begun practicing and was even participating in five-on-five work, so it appears this is a new injury, rather than a setback related to the previous one. Nonetheless, there weren't exactly high stakes in this team scrimmage, so it makes sense to see Ike sit out if he's not 100 percent. His next chance to take the court will be a Nov. 3 exhibition against Lewis-Clark State, and if he's limited there for any reason, look for Braden Huff -- who scored a team-high 19 in the Oct. 7 scrimmage -- to see the most reps at center.

Ike (leg) has begun participating in practice drills and five-on-five work, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

According to Rothstein, Ike was expected to be fully cleared for all basketball activities in June, and it seems that is exactly the case. With him beginning court work and the 2023-24 NCAA preseason still more than three months away, it would not be a shocker if he could be ready before then. That is welcoming news for Gonzaga, especially because center Drew Timme did not withdraw from the 2023 NBA Draft when it came to the May 31 withdrawal deadline, leaving Ike as the Zags' best center available moving forward.

A foot injury prevented Ike from participating in Wyoming's 2022-23 season. But nearly half a year removed from when he first suffered the injury, he is expected to be healthy upon arriving at Gonzaga. So unless Ike suffers another setback, the 2023-24 Bulldogs will have him when their preseason begins in a few months.

Ike announced Friday he will join Gonzaga as a transfer, Joe Tipton reports.

Ike is expected to be fully healthy for Gonzaga after having sat the entire 2022-23 season due to a right foot injury. During the 2021-22 campaign he averaged an outstanding 19.5 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 31 minutes per game (33 contests). He should be able to compete right away for Gonzaga, where he will retain up to three years of eligibility at the NCAA level. Health permitting, Ike should immediately step up to handle an Instrumental starting role with his new program.

Ike has entered the NCAA transfer portal, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Ike sat out the entire 2022-23 season and took a medical redshirt while recovering from a foot injury. The 6-foot-9 junior started in 33 games during the 2021-22 season, averaging 19.5 points (51.0/27.3/71.6 shooting splits), 9.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals on 31.6 minutes per game. The junior forward is likely to draw the attention of numerous programs given his production with Wyoming.

Ike (foot) announced via his personal twitter Friday that he will redshirt the rest of the season.

Ike hadn't played this season due to a foot injury he sustained in the preseason. The junior big man averaged 19.5 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 31.6 minutes across 33 games in 2021-22. Ike will look to resume his impressive form next season.

Ike (lower leg) will continue being out indefinitely, according to Ryan Thorburn of The Casper Star-Tribune.

Wyoming's head coach Jeff Linder said Ike is "making progress" but has no return date yet. The center sat out all of November, December and January.

Ike (lower leg) is out indefinitely, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Ike will sit out the Cowboys' upcoming game Tuesday at Utah State. Concerning their future matchups, fantasy managers should wait until further notice is given about his lower leg's condition improving or not.

Ike sat out the Cowboys' first game of 2023. Currently, their next matchup is at Utah State on Tuesday.

Ike (foot) is doubtful before the Cowboys' game Saturday versus San Diego State.

As expected, Ike sat out all games the Cowboys played during December. January was when their head coach Jeff Linder said Ike's return month would be. So now, he is game-to-game until further notice. They host San Diego State to begin their 2023.

Wyoming's head coach Jeff Linder said Ike (lower leg) is expected to be available sometime during January, according to Alex Taylor of WyoSports.

When asked if Ike would be available before Wyoming's first conference games, Linder expressed doubt. The coach said January is his guess, though not approximated as to exactly when that month. That being said, fantasy managers should consider non-Ike options until 2023.

Ike will miss an extended period of time due to a lower leg injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Ike was selected as the Preseason Player of the Year for the Mountain West. The six-foot-9 big man averaged 19.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 31.6 minutes over 33 games as a sophomore. It's unclear exactly how long Ike will be out, but his injury is a big obstacle for Wyoming's NCAA tournament chances.

Ike was selected for Preseason Player of the Player for the Mountain West on Wednesday, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Ike is going into his junior year coming off a breakout sophomore campaign in which he averaged 19.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 31.6 minutes across 33 games. The 6-foot-9 big man managed to shoot 51.0 percent from the field and earn 6.7 free throw attempts per game. Ike should be a double-double machine again this year for Wyoming.

Ike finished with 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 68-61 loss to Boise State.

After an 11 point, six turnover performance in a narrow win over UNLV, Ike responded with a thoroughly improved outing. Previously a bubble team, it's unclear what the postseason holds for Wyoming. Regardless, the sophomore wraps up his season averaging 19.6 points and 9.6 rebounds per game while shooting 51.0 percent from the field.

Ike contributed 28 points (10-17 FG, 8-12 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 78-76 1OT victory over Utah State.

This was yet another outstanding performance from a player who's now looking like the MWC Player of the Year frontrunner. It was made all the more impressive by the fact Ike was limited due to foul trouble a bit in the first half. Ike now has double-doubles in two of his last three games, and is averaging 21.3 points and 10.1 rebounds over his last seven contests.

Ike logged 29 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 15 rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Saturday's 93-91 win over New Mexico.

Ike didn't take the court in Wednesday's win over San Jose State, but the rest appears to have done him well. He set a new season-best rebounding total while nearly recording his second 30-point effort, all while playing much of the closing stretch in foul trouble. Ike is having a breakthrough season that could make him a sleeper for Mountain West Player of the Year, as he's putting up 20.6 points on 55.6 percent shooting to go along with 8.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists. It doesn't look like the recent injury will be much of a road block moving forward. he and the Cowboys will head to Boise on Tuesday, and only one team will emerge unbeaten in MWC play.

Ike (undisclosed) will rejoin the action Saturday versus New Mexico, 7220 Sports reports.

Given Ike's 20 points per contest average on the year, his return to the Cowboys frontcourt is a massive boon Saturday. That being said, this should be a contest Wyoming can handle pretty easily, so Ike could be utilized in a limited capacity if the game turns into a blowout and he's not 100 percent. Ike could be of more importance than usual, however, with Xavier DuSell (hamstring) and Kenny Foster (COVID-19 protocols) expected to sit.

Ike is doubtful to play in Wednesday's game against San Jose State due to an undisclosed issue, Ryan Thorburn of Casper Star-Tribune reports.

This will be a significant loss for the Cowboys, as the sophomore is averaging a team-high 20.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Hunter Thompson will presumably garner the start if Ike is held out.

Ike amassed 24 points (8-17 FG, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 77-67 win over Nevada.

With starting shooting guard Xavier DuSell (10.8 ppg) sidelined due to a hamstring injury, the Cowboys had to find some scoring production elsewhere, and it came in the form of Ike. The second-year forward has improved tremendously since he 2020-21 campaign and now has three consecutive 20-point games to bring his scoring average up to an even 20.0 ppg, good for No. 20 in the nation. Most importantly, the Cowboys picked up a tough road win to improve to 2-0 in Mountain West play and have a softer matchup against San Jose State on tap Wednesday.

Ike and the Cowboys won't play Saturday against Boise State after the game was postponed due to COVID-19 issues within the Broncos' program.

The Cowboys haven't taken the court since their Christmas Day win over USF. Their next scheduled matchup is Tuesday against Nevada.

Ike recorded 32 points (12-14 FG, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 26 minutes Wednesday in Wyoming's 111-80 win over San Jose State in the first round of the Mountain West Conference tournament.

The 32 points were a career-high total for Ike and the most by a freshman in Mountain West Conference tournament history. After missing the first half of the season while recovering from an ACL injury suffered in high school, Ike has given a jolt to the Cowboys since joining the lineup. Through his first 11 career games, the 6-foot-9 big man is averaging 11.3 points and 5.1 rebounds in 20.4 minutes per contest.

Ike will start Saturday's game against Colorado State, Davis Potter of the Casper Star-Tribune reports.

Ike has been a consistent presence for the Cowboys recently, averaging 11.3 points and 4.8 rebounds over 23.3 minutes per game in the last four games, earning himself a look with the starting unit. It could mean a slight minutes increase for the freshman as well.

Ike (knee) had zero points (0-2 FG), three rebounds, an assist and a steal in nine minutes during Friday's 71-64 win over Nevada.

Ike had been out all season while recovering from offseason ACL surgery and was finally able to make his debut for the Cowboys. It's unclear what his usage may look like moving forward, but the assumption is his minutes will increase as he gets healthier and more comfortable in live game situations.

Ike is still recovering from offseason ACL surgery but could see a return to action as soon as late January, Cody Tucker of 7220sports.com reports.

Ike has been working has way back from offseason ACL surgery and is pushing for a return later in the month. Although he's just a freshman Ike could see immediate playing time as a reserve once he's officially cleared.
