Simi Shittu: Back in action Friday
Shittu recorded seven points (2-7 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 13 minutes during Friday's 128-121 win over the Mad Ants.
Friday marked Shittu's first game action since Jan. 2, as the big man has been working his way through a nagging knee issue. The 23-year-old came off Lakeland's bench versus Fort Wayne and played just 13 minutes, but he made the most of his limited time by posting a near double-double to go along with a pair of swats. Shittu will likely see his playing time gradually increase throughout the next couple of weeks, and he'll presumably return to the G League Magic's starting lineup in the near future.

Shittu recorded 21 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Monday's 131-116 win over the Skyhawks.
Monday's matchup versus College Park accounted for Shittu's eighth double-double of the 2022-23 campaign, and he's now combined for 49 points and 30 rebounds between Lakeland's last two contests. The 240-pounder is averaging 15.6 points and 8.7 boards per game this season.

Shittu logged game highs in both rebounds (12) and blocks (3) Thursday night versus Birmingham, and he's now collected 39 total points across Lakeland's last two contests. The 6-foot-10 center should continue posting solid numbers as long as he remains in the team's starting lineup, as he's now averaging 14.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game this season.

Shittu (undisclosed) didn't play in the second game of Lakeland's back-to-back series with the Legends on Tuesday.
Shittu was held out of Tuesday's contest for an unspecified reason, though it's possible he could've just been given a rest day following his 16-point and seven-rebound effort Monday. His next opportunity to take the court will now come Friday versus Mexico City.

Simi Shittu: Efficient during Friday's loss
Shittu recorded 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 17 minutes during Friday's 123-105 loss to the Hustle.
Shittu connected on all five of his field-goal attempts and was able to stay positive in the teams plus/minus category (+3) during Friday's season opener versus Memphis.
