Mullins is the lone player listed out for UConn on the official Big East availability report. Providence will be playing without leading Scorer Jason Edwards, who has not played since Jan. 10, and depth guards Daquan Davis and Rich Barron. Davis and Barron have only played a combined three games this season.

Mullins, who previously missed six games due to an ankle injury, suffered his head injury early in UConn’s overtime win over Villanova on Saturday. He collided with Wildcats guard Acaden Lewis and took an inadvertent shoulder to the head that forced him into the locker room.

Mullins did not return and was confirmed to be in concussion protocol by head coach Dan Hurley after the game.

The freshman, unfortunately, returns to the sidelines amid arguably the best stretch of his season. Mullins entered the Villanova game averaging 15.5 points in UConn’s previous four games and was playing well before going down.

Through 20 games, Mullins is fourth on the team with 11.4 points per game. He is also responsible for 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per contest, while leading the team with 2.07 three-pointers per game.

Without Mullins, Hurley will likely place 6-foot-7 forward Jaylin Stewart back in his starting lineup. Stewart started UConn’s first 11 games of the 2025-2026 college basketball season before Mullins supplanted him in the opening unit.

The Huskies have not provided a timetable for Mullins’ return. His next chance to play is Jan. 31, when UConn travels to face Creighton.
