Shareef O'Neal - Won't play Tuesday O'Neal (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's season opener against Louisiana-Monroe, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact O'Neal had been making positive progress as of less than a week ago, but a timeline for his official return to full contact has yet to be established. For now, he should merely be considered a depth option with Efton Reid and Darius Days projected to man the frontcourt in the season opener.

Justice Williams - Still working back Williams was one of the players coach Will Wade described Wednesday as "making progress and running," according to Matthew Brune of 247 Sports.
Impact Wade also added that he's hopeful both Williams and teammate Shareef O'Neal will be back in a few weeks, which on the surface, appears to rule them out for Tuesday's season opener against Louisiana-Monroe. The absence of Williams from a late-October exhibition was originally considered to be for minor injuries, so it's unclear exactly what may have changed since.

Tari Eason - Leads scoring in exhibition Eason recorded 22 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and 15 rebounds across 37 minutes in Saturday's 74-62 exhibition victory over Nicholls.
Impact Eason undoubtedly benefitted from the absence of projected rotation regulars Darius Days, Xavier Pinson, Efton Reid and Justice Williams, but the Cincinnati transfer showed he can take over a game when called upon. It remains to be seen if Eason will lock down a starting spot on a roster with plenty of returning and incoming talent, but he certainly made a case for himself here. Regardless, he should be a productive rotation player after averaging 7.3 points and 5.9 rebounds through 23 games (eight starts) with the Bearcats last season.

Shareef O'Neal - DNP in exhibition O'Neal (foot) did not take the court in Saturday's 74-62 exhibition victory over Nicholls.
Impact O'Neal suffered a foot injury towards the end of the 2020-21 season that still hadn't fully recovered as of early-October, and it doesn't appear as if circumstances have changed much since. He sat out alongside four projected rotation regulars, though LSU was still able to get the job done in the low-stakes scrimmage. With no other formally-scheduled exhibition contests set, O'Neal's next chance to take the court will be the Nov. 9 season opener against Louisiana Monroe.

Justice Williams - Sits out exhibition Williams didn't play Saturday in LSU's 74-62 exhibition win over Nicholls State due to "some minor bumps and bruises."
Impact Along with Williams, Xavier Pinson, Darius Days, Efton Reid and Shareef O'Neal also sat out, but only O'Neal (foot) is seemingly at risk of missing the start of the regular season. Williams, an incoming freshman, is expected to vie for a rotational role on the wing during his first season in Baton Rouge.

Impact Along with Reid, Xavier Pinson, Darius Days, Justice Williams and Shareef O'Neal also sat out, but only O'Neal (foot) is seemingly at risk of missing the start of the regular season. Reid, a consensus five-star recruit, is expected to open the season as the Tigers' starting center, working alongside Days in the frontcourt.

Impact Along with Pinson, Darius Days, Efton Reid, Justice Williams and Shareef O'Neal also sat out, but only O'Neal (foot) is seemingly at risk of missing the start of the regular season. Pinson, an incoming transfer from Missouri, should be ready to fill a starting role out of the LSU backcourt when the Tigers kick off their season Nov. 9 against UL Monroe.
