Devin Askew - Eligible for 2022 season Askew has received a waiver from the NCAA and will be eligible to compete in the 2022 season, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact The guard transferred to the Golden Bears in early May, so his status for the upcoming season was in question and hinged on the NCAA approving him to play. Now, Askew is officially eligible to play in 2022 and will look to make an impact with his third school. In 2021, Askew played in 34 games but started just three, averaging 2.1 points, 0.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists.

Jordan Shepherd - Team-high 19 points Shepherd produced 19 points (6-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and four steals over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 66-59 loss to Washington State.
Impact Shepherd closed his final collegiate season by leading Cal with 19 points, although it was far from an efficient performance as he shot just 35 percent from the floor. He did play well on the defensive end with four of the team's eight steals but it wasn't enough to advance the Golden Bears in the Pac-12 Tournament. Shepherd led the team with 14.6 ppg this season.

He was able to chip in with a team-high six rebounds where he's been a solid contributor for California. Anticevich will look to bounce back when Cal takes on Washington State in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament.

Joel Brown - Out with knee injury Brown will miss Saturday's game against Arizona with a knee injury,
Impact Brown has started six of the last seven games for the Golden Bears and has been the primary player on the ball facilitating the offense. His knee issue will throw a wrench into things Saturday, boosting Makale Foreman to the starting role and likely primary duties in that situation.

Makale Foreman - Starting Saturday Foreman is starting Saturday's game against Arizona.
Impact Foreman has played primarily off the bench this year, but he'll join the starting lineup for the second time in the last three games. He's averaged just 2.7 points in 15.0 minutes per game across three starts this year.

Impact Celestine was the lone Cal player to reach double figures as the team was held to just 44 points, although he shot just 33 percent from the floor. The sophomore wing has established himself as a reliable three-point shooter but hasn't been much of a contributor across the stat sheet. Over his last five games, Celestine is averaging 8.8 points on 36 percent shooting.

Impact Shepherd provided over half of Cal's points in the low-scoring affair, posting his fourth 25+ point performance of the season on the strength of 69 percent shooting. He was the lone Cal player to reach double figures as the team leans heavily on the senior in the absence of Andre Kelly. He's been inconsistent in a significant role, connecting on 39 percent of field goals this season.
