Rebels' Seagears might not play Saturday against Wyoming

Just as it appears forward Stephen Zimmerman Jr. will be returning to UNLV's lineup, point guard Jerome Seagears might be departing.

Seagears didn't practice on Thursday, and his availability for Saturday's 5 p.m. basketball game against Wyoming at the Thomas & Mack Center was in question.

So the Rebels still might be left with just six scholarships players ready to play.

Seagears has been battling hand and foot injuries, and he underwent an MRI on his right heel on Wednesday. He said the test revealed a deep bruise, but no major damage.

Seagers played with noticeable pain on Tuesday at Boise State, where the Rebels lost 81-69.
