Forwards Dwayne Morgan (shoulder) and Christian Jones (ankle) aren’t expected to play Wednesday in UNLV’s 7 p.m. basketball game against Incarnate Word at the Thomas & Mack Center.
“It seems like we’re a little bit snakebit,” coach Marvin Menzies said Tuesday.
Morgan, who is 6 feet 8 inches, has started the past six games, and he averages 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds. The 6-7 Jones missed five games with a foot injury before returning to face Duke on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena, and he averages 10.5 points and 6.5 rebounds.
Cheickna Dembele, a 6-11 freshman who has battled a foot injury that cost him four games, could receive his first start.
