UNLV star guard Dedan Thomas Jr. missed Friday’s practice and was wearing a shoulder brace as he watched from the Thomas & Mack Center sideline.

Coach Kevin Kruger would not say whether Thomas, the Rebels’ leading scorer, would miss Saturday’s home game against Colorado State or any beyond that. UNLV (14-12, 8-7 Mountain West) has five games left in the regular season.

When asked if Thomas would be back this season, Kruger said, “we expect everyone to be back.”

UNLV did not make Thomas available to the media after practice. Team policy is to not make injured players available.

The sophomore point guard is averaging 15.6 points and 4.7 assists this season.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
