Andre Kelly - Helps California to first win Kelly posted 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 75-70 overtime win over San Diego.
Impact Kelly was one of four California starters in double figures as the big man connected on over half his shots from the field. He was two rebounds away from a double-double and also posted a team-high two steals. Kelly has seen a slightly increased role in the offense thus far due to the departure of Matt Bradley, and he has been dominant on the glass with 9.3 boards per game.

Jalen Celestine - 24 minutes in 2021-22 debut Celestine (undisclosed) had four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 24 minutes in Saturday's 55-52 loss to UNLV.
Impact Celestine did not take the court in the season opener for reasons that were never specified, but he saw more minutes than any other Bears reserve in this contest. Though he did see six starts down the stretch last season, it appears as he'll function in a sixth-man role to begin the 2021-22 campaign.

Makale Foreman - Six minutes in return Foreman (undisclosed) had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across six minutes in Saturday's 55-52 loss to UNLV.
Impact Foreman missed the season opener with an unspecified issue, but was back in action in a reserve capacity. It wouldn't be surprising if Foreman still wasn't at 100 percent, as the six minutes he saw would have been one of his lowest totals for the entirety of last season. In the meantime, Jordan Shephard and Joel Brown are seeing the bulk of the backcourt minutes.
NOVEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Shepherd - Struggles in narrow loss Shepherd tallied nine points (3-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's 55-52 loss to UNLV.
Impact The transfer from Charlotte had a horrific shooting night, failing to reach double figures despite a whopping 17 shot attempts. He did grab a pair of steals on the defensive end but also led the team with four turnovers. Shepherd has struggled with his shooting consistency throughout his career but will likely still be a major contributor on a California team that doesn't have much for offensive weapons.

Jalen Celestine - One of many Cal absences Celestine did not take the court in Tuesday's season-opening loss to UC San Diego.
Impact The Bears were down five players in this contest, and per Sports Illustrated, coach Mark Fox believes only one of them has a chance to suit up Saturday against UNLV. The only other details Fox offered were that the absences were not related to COVID-19. Once cleared, Celestine should have a role this year after making six starts in 22 appearances in 2020-21.

D.J. Thorpe - DNP in opener Thorpe (undisclosed) did not play in the season opener against UC San Diego, Rivals.com reports.
Impact California was shorthanded in Tuesday's upset loss and Thorpe was one of the four Bears sidelined. Thorpe has appeared in 53 games over the last two seasons in a reserve role. It remains to be seen if California will be at full strength for Saturday's game against UNLV.

Monty Bowser - Sits out opener Bowser (undisclosed) did not play against UC San Diego, Rivals.com reports.
Impact The reserve big man did not see the floor in Tuesday's upset loss. California returns to action Saturday against UNLV but it's unclear if Bowser will be available.

Makale Foreman - Does not play in opener Foreman (undisclosed) did not play against UC San Diego, Rivals.com reports.
Impact California was missing several players for the season opener including Foreman as the Bears fell to the Tritons. Foreman, who played in 29 games for California last season, should be considered questionable heading into Saturday's game against UNLV.

Marsalis Roberson - Misses season opener Roberson (undisclosed) did not play in California's exhibition, Rivals.com reports.

Grant Anticevich - Very efficient 23 points Anticevich had a game-high 23 points (10-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, and a steal in Monday night's exhibition game.
Impact Anticevich was incredibly efficient, doing all that damage in just 17 minutes of action. The super senior figures to be a big part of the offense this season for Cal.
NOVEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jarred Hyder - Plays 21 minutes in exhibition game Hyder (undisclosed) had two points (1-1 FG) and an assist in 21 minutes in Monday's exhibition game.
Impact Hyder's last season with the Bears was cut short a game due to injury, but he was back in action here. The 6-3 guard was pretty unproductive despite playing over 20 minutes, but he will look to get on track when the regular season starts next Tuesday. California is set to open up against UC San Diego.
