According to SU trainer Brad Pike, Sidibe’s recovery time should be approximately four weeks.

Frequent lineups we'll see in the next 1-2 months with Bourama out:

Girard
Boeheim
Griffin
Guerrier
Dolezaj

Richmond
Boeheim
Griffin
Guerrier
Dolezaj

Given Boeheim is looing for "anything" out of Edwards/Anselem, not sure how much we see other than Dolezaj at the five.
