D.J. Thorpe - Expected to redshirt Thorpe (undisclosed) is likely to redshirt this season, SI.com reports.

Impact Thorpe had not played in a game this season for an undisclosed reason. He appeared in 53 games during his first two seasons with the team. Thorpe will save a year of eligibility and hope to come back strong in 2022-23.

Monty Bowser - Looking at redshirt Bowser (ankle) is likely to redshirt this season, SI.com reports.

Impact Bowser is dealing with an ankle injury that would cost him most of the season. With the sophomore not having a very secure spot in the rotation more than likely anyways, the redshirt here seems like the best option.

Grant Anticevich - Career-high 15 rebounds Anticevich produced seven points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, four assists and one block across 33 minutes during Sunday's 61-55 victory over Dartmouth.

Impact Anticevich grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds in part due to Dartmouth's poor shooting night in which Cal held them to 34 percent from the floor. He ended up three points shy of posting his fourth double-double of the season. Anticevich has been a solid contributor amongst the Golden Bears' strong frontcourt defense this season.

Andre Kelly - Efficient in victory Kelly racked up 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Saturday's 72-60 win over Santa Clara.

Impact Kelly led all scorers in the game with 18 points and he did it in an efficient manner, connecting on 73 percent of his shot attempts. He was also just two rebounds away from posting his fifth double-double of the season. Kelly is emerging as one of the best rebounders in the country, averaging nine per game.

Sam Alajiki - Heads back to bench Alajiki will come off the bench in Saturday's game against Santa Clara.

Impact Alajiki made a spot start in Wednesday win over Idaho State in place of the injured Kuany Kuany but will return to the bench with Kuany back in the lineup. The 6-7 freshman has averaged 2.8 points and two rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game so far this season.

Kuany Kuany - Back in starting five Kuany (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Santa Clara.

Impact Kuany suffered an ankle injury last Sunday and was unable to return. He then sat out Wednesday's contest as a result but will make a return to the lineup Saturday evening. The 6-9 junior has averaged 3.3 points and 1.1 rebounds in just 14 minutes per game despite starting seven out the nine games he's been active for.

Lars Thiemann - Career-high 12 points Thiemann closed Wednesday's 72-46 win over Idaho State with 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one block over 13 minutes.

Impact Thiemann scored a career-high 12 points in only 13 minutes of action, as the junior has played sparingly after being an occasional starter each of the last two seasons. Turnover problems in the past have limited his playing time, although that hasn't been much of an issue this season. The 7-1 center is shooting 54 percent from the field.

Sam Alajiki - Gets first start on Wednesday Alajiki had five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 72-46 victory over Idaho State.

Impact Alajiki notched his first career start in Wednesday's blowout of Idaho State. It appears the freshman's role will only continues to expand going forward this season for Cal in the frontcourt.

D.J. Thorpe - Sits first 10 games Thorpe (undisclosed) has not taken the court through the first 10 games of the 2021-22 season.

Impact Thorpe appeared in a combined 53 games over his first two seasons with the program, so even in a deep reserve role, one would have thought he'd have seen the court by now. The 6-9 forward is still listed on the official team roster, but for now, it appears he is out indefinitely.

Marsalis Roberson - Small role in season debut Roberson (undisclosed) recorded zero points (0-1 FT) and one rebound across five minutes during Wednesday's 72-46 win over Idaho State.

Impact Robinson missed the first nine games of the season for reasons that were never specified, but he was finally able to see the court in what was a lopsided victory. Look for the 6-6 freshman to continue serving in a wing depth role.

DECEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kuany Kuany - Misses first full game Kuany (ankle) did not take the court in Wednesday's 72-46 victory over Idaho State.

Impact Kuany had started seven of the first eight games of the season before coming off the bench and logging a season-low two minutes Dec. 5 against Utah. It was later reported that he was forced to exit with an ankle injury, and it seems that injury will extend his absence. His next chance to take the court will be Saturday against Santa Clara.

Impact Roberson has warmed up and suited up this season, but has not played in a game due to an undisclosed injury. Once healthy, it's hard to know how much he will play.

Kuany Kuany - Limited by ankle issue Kuany exited Sunday's matchup against Utah with an ankle injury and did not return to the contest, freelance college basketball writer Rocco Miller reports.

Impact Kuany has started seven of nine possible games for California this season, serving as the primary small forward in larger lineups, though Jalen Celestine has often cut into those minutes off the bench. It was Celestine who was called upon to make his first start of the season Sunday, however, and he ended up scoring six points on 3-of-5 shooting while logging one of his higher minutes totals of the year. If Kuany ends up being unavailable Wednesday against Idaho State, look for Celestine to again be the beneficiary.

Grant Anticevich - Posts double-double Anticevich amassed 12 points (6-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and 10 rebounds across 32 minutes during Sunday's 66-58 loss to Utah.

Impact Anticevich posted his second double-double of the season but it wasn't enough as Cal fell to 4-5 on the season. Normally a solid shooter from long range, he wasn't able to find his form as he went 0-for-4 from deep. Anticevich has taken on a bigger role this season but is only shooting 43 percent from the field.
