Jordan Brown - Makes first start Friday Brown is in the starting five for Friday's game versus Alabama State.

Impact After coming off the bench in the first two games of the season, Brown joins the starting lineup in place of Malcolm Dandridge. Despite not starting, Brown has played more minutes than Dandridge in each of the Tigers' first two games of the season, so it's not all that surprising that he finds himself in the starting five. In two games this season he is averaging 11.5 points, five rebounds, 1.5 steals and one block in 18.5 minutes per game.

Impact Walton has scored in double digits and recorded at least one steal in both of his first two appearances the season. Walton has started the 2023-24 campaign shooting 66.7 percent on 4.5 three-point attempts per contest.

Impact Quinerly bounced back from his poor shooting night in Memphis' opener and nearly posted a double-double Friday. The senior guard has recorded three steals in both of his first two outings this season.

Caleb Mills - Dealing with tendinitis Mills (undisclosed) has been dealing with tendinitis, according to Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Impact It is unclear if Mills suffered from tendinitis Monday, which could explain his lineup absence and/or inefficient shooting (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt) against Jacksonville State. What is even more unclear is his availability status for Friday, as the Memphis-based Tigers are expected to play at Missouri then.

Caleb Mills - Left out of starting five Mills is not in the starting five in advance of Monday's season opener against Jackson State, Parth Upadhyaya of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Instead, the Tigers are rolling out a starting lineup composed of Jahvon QUinerly, Jaykwon Walton, David Jones, Nick Jourdain and Malcolm Dandridge, which is a different alignment than exhibition play, which featured Mills. It's unclear if this will be the normal starting five this season, or if there is any injury in play.

Impact Quinerly's absence was made clear but the injury behind it was never brought to light until Penny Hardaway mentioned it after Thursday's game. The Alabama transfer is in line to be the team's starting point guard and will have a few more days to shake off the rust from his injury before the team hosts Jackson State to kick off the regular season Nov. 6.

DeAndre Williams - Remains ineligible Williams did not appear in Sunday's exhibition game against Lane College as he awaits his eligibility decision.

Impact Williams remains unable to suit up for the Tigers as the 2023-24 season rapidly approaches. The 6-foot-9 senior, who averaged 17.7 points and 8.2 rebounds for the Tigers last season (35 starts), would be ineligible to suit up in the season opener against Jackson State on Nov. 6, barring an NCAA waiver.

Mikey Williams - Trial date set Williams trial date for felony charges has been set for December 14, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Williams appeared in court last Friday after apparently not showing up for an earlier-scheduled arraignment, and he's now facing additional felony charges and has a trial date set. A request to increase his bail has been denied, but the judge did order Williams to stop posting on social media about his case. He's also since lost a high-profile NIL deal with Puma. Things appear bleak for the highly-touted freshman, but he does still appear on the Memphis team roster, as the team appears prepared to let the legal process run its course before making any concrete decisions.

Impact Williams, a highly regarded recruit in Memphis' 2023 signing class, has been ordered to appear in court Friday in El Cajon, Calif. for arraignment on nine total charges related to the March 27 incident. He originally was charged with five counts of assault with a weapon and one count of firing into an occupied vehicle, which would carry a sentence of 28 years in prison if convicted on all counts. The three new charges would each carry eight additional months of prison time. Williams remains enrolled at Memphis but isn't able to access team facilities or activities, with his status with the program to be determined once his court case is resolved. With the Tigers' season beginning Nov. 6, Williams appears set to miss the start of his freshman campaign, if not the entirety of it.
