“Charles has a wrist injury he got in the game against Vanderbilt at some point in the first half,” Dayton coach Archie Miller said. “X-rays and MRI were both done. They were both negative. He’ll be day to day. Hopefully he can get some recovery over the break, and we’ll see where it goes. We’re used to playing without guys at this point. When he’s back, he’s back.”
