Trae Hannibal - Expected back Wednesday Hannibal (coach's decision) is expected to be available during Wednesday's matchup with Mississippi State, Sheldon Mickles of the Baton Rouge Advocate reports.

Impact Hannibal was held out of Saturday's matchup with Alabama as the result of a game-time coach's decision, but he is expected to be available on Wednesday. The 6-foot-2 senior has appeared in 22 games this season, logging 6.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals on 20.6 minutes per game.

KJ Williams - Shining despite team struggles Williams produced eight points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 79-69 loss to Alabama.

Impact While Saturday's scoring output was Williams' lowest total of the calendar year, he's still posting an impressive 14.4 ppg and 7.0 rpg through 10 contests in 2023. This impressive individual totals haven't led to much team success, however, as LSU is riding a nine-game losing streak, and the fifth-year senior appears likely to be let out of impactful postseason action.

Justice Williams - Inconsistent usage Williams contributed four points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's 79-69 loss to Alabama.

Impact Williams has started the last six games for LSU and has seen 28 or more minutes in all but one contest. That one contest happened to be last Wednesday against Missouri in which the sophomore mysteriously logged only two minutes. No explanation from the team has been given for that anomaly, and while Williams will be a risky fantasy asset until the situation is explained, it at least appears he may be back in the staff's good graces following a somewhat-normal workload Saturday.

Trae Hannibal - DNP vs. Alabama Hannibal did not play during LSU's 79-69 loss Saturday versus Alabama.

Impact According to Koki Riley of USA Today, LSU's head coach Matt McMahon decided against using Hannibal despite him being healthy. Currently, his next opportunity to return is at Mississippi State on Wednesday.

Tyrell Ward - Unimpressive across 20 minutes Ward notched two points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 79-69 loss to Alabama.

Impact LSU continued to rotate its starting lineups Saturday. But after Ward's disappointing output against Alabama, fantasy managers should not be surprised if the freshman continues to receive limited starting opportunities as his first season progresses.
