Today’s Daily Pennsylvanian reports Penn forward Friedrich Ebede is listed as “questionable” with a groin injury for the Quakers’ upcoming Yale-Brown weekend roadtrip. The senior is averaging 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game off the bench for Fran Dunphy, and has been Penn’s top frontcourt reserve. Ebede injured his left groin on a hard foul by Harvard’s Matt Stehle in the first half of Friday’s Harvard-Penn game.
Slant: If Ebede can’t go, that will leave Brian Grandieri as the only member of Dunphy’s eight-man rotation available for reserve minutes. Against a Yale team that likes to go ten deep, freshness could be an issue late in the game, unless Dunphy has been preparing a reserve like Kevin Egee or Brennan Votel for a role this weekend. Penn does catch a break in that the Yale game is the first of the back-to-back games.
