Anthony Robinson - Figures to start for Perkins Robinson is expected to start for the injured Tony Perkins, Eli Hoff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Robinson has been very solid this season, averaging 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 24.3 minutes.

Tony Perkins - Out Thursday Perkins (leg) is out for Thursday's game versus Mississippi Valley State, Eli Hoff of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Perkins will be held out of Thursday's game, however it is considered a precautionary measure. He's dealing with a minor leg injury, one that should not keep him off the floor for long. Anthony Robinson is expected to start at point guard in his place. Perkins has over a week until the Tigers take the floor again, so there's a decent chance he will be back for that contest versus Pacific.

Robinson, meanwhile, appeared in 30 games last season but didn't log a start, averaging 3.9 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 steals.

Caleb Grill - Promising output during exhibition Grill logged 20 points and six rebounds during Missouri's exhibition game against Lincoln.
Impact Grill was Missouri's second-leading scorer and leading rebounder during the Lincoln exhibition, which could show how the 2024-25 Tigers will operate this season. They need much improvement from last season but could perhaps see some with him back for another year. Missouri's 2023-24 team got nine games (five started) out of the redshirt senior, who averaged 8.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers made and 1.1 steals.

Tony Perkins - Practice following exhibition miss Perkins (undisclosed) returned to action after sitting out during last Saturday's exhibition game 90-45 win over Lincoln University, Calum McAndrew of the Columbia Tribune reports.
Impact Perkins is reportedly expected to suit up in Missouri's season opener against Memphis despite missing Saturday's exhibition game against the Blue Tigers. The 6-foot-4 senior transfer from Iowa, who averaged 14 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.6 steals across 34 starts with the Hawkeyes last season, is expected to be a large piece for the Tigers this season. If Perkins is ultimately unable to suit up for Missouri this Monday, NKU transfer Marques Warrick appears to be the next man up at point guard.
