CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS NEWS

Devin Askew - Leads team in loss Askew accumulated 13 points (5-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 64-62 loss to UC San Diego.

Impact Askew tallied 13 points, shooting 5-of-14 from the field, during Tuesday's loss to UC San Diego. The 6-foot-3 junior has been California's leading scorer through three games with the program, but he has struggled with efficiency. Despite scoring 16.3 points per game, the junior point guard has knocked down just 39.1 percent of his shots from the field. Askew will look to improve his shot selection and turn things around for California during Friday's matchup with Southern University.

Kuany Kuany - Scores 13 in loss Kuany totaled 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes during Friday's 63-54 loss to Kansas State.

Impact Kuany logged 13 points on eight shots during Friday's loss to Kansas State. The 6-foot-9 senior appeared in 30 games last season, averaging 4.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks on 17 minutes per game. Kuany has made his way into the starting lineup for the Golden Bears, and he should have a larger role with the program this season.

Grant Newell - Makes first collegiate start Newell totaled four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds and two blocks over 26 minutes during Friday's 63-54 loss to Kansas State.

Impact Newell logged four points, four rebounds, and two blocks in his first collegiate start on Friday. The 6-foot-8 freshman was a three-star recruit in the class of 2022, playing for IMG Academy last season. Whether he comes off the bench or starts consistently for California, Newell should have a significant role with the Golden Bears.

Impact Askew was inefficient from the field during Monday's loss to UC Davis, but he still managed to lead the Golden Bears in scoring. The 6-foot-3 junior appeared in 34 games for Texas last season, contributing 2.1 points, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals on 14.8 minutes per game. Askew should handle a much larger role for California in 2022.

Jalen Celestine - Will miss start of season Celestine will be held out of the beginning of the 2022 season following a procedure on his knee, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact No timetable was given for the sophomore guard's return, so it's unclear when he'll be able to see the court again. Celestine was in line for a larger role this season after logging 25.0 minutes on 16 starts and putting up 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 2021. With Celestine sidelined, Junior Kuany Kuany figures to see an uptick in his minutes at small forward.
