As his 14 teammates stretched on the Thomas & Mack Center floor Friday, Dwayne Morgan took some shots at one of the baskets.
He remains a part of the UNLV basketball team, but also separate for now.
Coach Marvin Menzies said Morgan will miss Saturday’s 1 p.m. home game against Wyoming, and a long-term decision could be made next week.
Menzies said Morgan has played in pain since returning from hip surgery over the summer and it worsened. Morgan, who averages 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds, has missed the past five games.
“The doctors, and Dwayne himself based off his assessment, elected to say, ‘Let’s really try to get this thing right,’” Menzies said.
