This story has been updated to reflect a change in reporting.

In recent days, Rutgers freshman Kiyomi McMiller was strangely benched without much explanation. If you’re here, you’re probably wondering: when will she return to the court?

Here’s the answer. McMiller’s playing status is currently unclear. This is what we know.

Per Joey Chandler of NJ Advance Media, Rutgers associate director of communications Erin Nerithe confirmed that the young hooper practiced this week and traveled with the team for its Wednesday game against Minnesota.

However, whether McMiller will play remains unknown. The team and the university have not revealed any information about her status. The Scarlet Knights declined to comment, instead deferring to an availability report expected to be released Wednesday evening.


UPDATE: Despite being available to play per a Big Ten report, McMiller did not suit up for Wednesday’s matchup against the Minnesota Gophers.

According to Joey Chandler or NJ Advance Media, pulling her from the lineup was a game-time decision after the report was initially submitted.
