OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS NEWS

Caleb Asberry - Plays season-high 33 minutes Asberry provided 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-11 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 74-58 loss to Baylor.

Impact Asberry logged a team high in minutes even though starting shooting guard Avery Anderson, who has dealt with a wrist injury this past week, was able to play 30 minutes himself. These two ultimately tied for a team high in field-goal tries, though the reserve shooter finished as the Cowboys' leading scorer thanks to his team-leading usage from beyond the arc. Asberry has been a consistent sixth man for Oklahoma State this season, and he has now posted his two highest scoring marks of the season while playing a combined 60 minutes over the past two contests.

Avery Anderson - Logs 30 minutes with nagging injury Anderson chipped in 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 74-58 loss to Baylor.

Impact Anderson has dealt with a lingering wrist injury over the past week, though he's still suited up for each of the past two contests. The senior shooting guard also managed to ramp his playing time back up after logging a season-low 12 minutes against Kansas State on Tuesday. He also tied reserve guard for a team-high 12 field-goal tries Saturday. This is an encouraging sign for Anderson to continue seeing high usage heading into Wednesday's tilt versus Oklahoma.

Baylor Bears vs. Oklahoma State: Preview & How to Watch Baylor Bears men’s basketball team slated to host Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday evening on ESPN2

JANUARY 14, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Avery Anderson - Good to go Saturday Anderson (wrist) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Baylor.

Impact Anderson will continue to play through a wrist injury that limited him to just 12 minutes last time out against Kansas State on Tuesday. The starting shooting guard was able to practice and Cowboys coach Mike Boynton said he doesn't believe playing will worsen this injury, though it's unclear how available the senior will be. Anderson has averaged 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 16 starts this season.

Moussa Cisse - Inactive in pregame warmups Cisse (ankle) is not participating in pregame warmups and team layup lines ahead of Saturday's game versus Baylor, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Cisse is considered doubtful to play Saturday as he recovers from an ankle injury that sidelined him for Oklahoma State's previous two games. While the 7-foot-1 center is suited up, his extremely limited role pregame seems to indicate that he'll now miss his third consecutive game due to this issue. Cisse has averaged 8.1 points and a team-high 9.9 rebounds across 14 starts this season.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moussa Cisse - Doubtful Saturday Cisse (ankle) will be doubtful to play Saturday against Baylor but is getting better, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The big man will be doubtful to suit up Saturday against Baylor with an ankle injury. The junior has missed the last two games due to the same injury. Cisse is averaging 8.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game this season.

Avery Anderson - Returns to practice Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton said Anderson (wrist) practiced Thursday and doesn't think he can make his injury worse by playing in Saturday's game versus Baylor, Jon Walker of...

Impact Anderson only played 12 minutes in his previous outing due to his wrist injury. Boynton also mentioned that the senior guard would sit Saturday if he needs to do, so it appears he'll be a game-time decision. If Anderson is able to suit up against Baylor, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's on a minutes restriction.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Asberry - Plays 27 minutes in relief Asberry finished Tuesday's 65-57 loss to Kansas State with 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact Asberry saw a jump in playing time Tuesday with fellow senior guard Avery Anderson limited to just 12 minutes due to a lingering wrist injury. As a result, the 6-foot-3 Asberry posted season highs in field-goal attempts and points. This also helped make up for the poor shooting nights from fellow guards Bryce Thompson (2-for-13 FG) and John-Michael Wright (1-for-9 FG), though it wasn't enough to match another star performance from Kansas State guard Markquis Nowell. Asberry has now averaged 7.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 14 games with the Cowboys, and he should be first in line for increased usage so long as Anderson is limited.

Avery Anderson - Sustains wrist injury Anderson (wrist) is dealing with a wrist injury suffered during Saturday's showdown with Texas, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Anderson was able to play in Tuesday's matchup with Kansas State, but he played an uncharacteristically low 12 minutes in the contest. The 6-foot-3 senior was likely limited during Tuesday's matchup with the Wildcats, and it is unknown if he will see a similar restriction during Saturday's showdown with Baylor.

Moussa Cisse - Out at Kansas State Cisse (ankle) sat out the Cowboys' 65-57 loss Tuesday at Kansas State.

Impact Instead of being limited, Cisse did not play at all. Cisse's next opportunity to return is when the Cowboys visit Baylor on Saturday.

Moussa Cisse - Could be limited Tuesday Cisse (ankle) is suited up and going through warmups but will likely be limited in Tuesday's game against Kansas State, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Cisse is not in the starting lineup but could still see some action off the bench behind the frontcourt of Tyreek Smith and Kalib Boone. Cisse is a very important piece on the interior for the Cowboys and having their big man in any capacity is certainly not a bad thing. Kalib Boone was excellent against Texas without Cisse and Boone may still end up getting the majority of the time at center.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moussa Cisse - Remains a game-time decision Cisse remains a game-time decision in advance of Tuesday's showdown with Kansas State, Jon Walker of the Stillwater News Press reports.

Impact The junior will be a game-time decision on Tuesday with an ankle injury. He didn't play Saturday against Texas, but was pushing to, suggesting he's close to getting back on the floor. If Cisse remains on the bench, junior forward Tyreek Smith can see extended playing time.

Moussa Cisse - DNP vs. Texas Cisse (ankle) did not play during the Cowboys' 56-46 loss Saturday versus Texas.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Cisse sat out the Cowboys' second game of 2023. He has three days before they play their next matchup Tuesday at Kansas State.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tyreek Smith - 23 minutes in start Smith closed Saturday's 56-46 loss to Texas with zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 23 minutes.

Impact Smith was tapped for his first start of the season with center Moussa Cisse sidelined after going down with an ankle injury Monday versus West Virginia. However, Smith did not see any significant increase in usage, as fellow forward Kalib Boone (16-10-1-6-1) appeared to step into the Cowboys' starting center role. Smith did post a season high in blocks versus the Longhorns, though he's now attempted just two field goals across the past two contests. It's likely Smith will continue to play a limited offensive role even if Cisse remains out Tuesday versus Kansas State.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kalib Boone - Posts first double-double Boone notched 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, six blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 56-46 loss to Texas.

Impact Boone had his best overall performance of the season, logging season highs in blocks and rebounds. The 6-foot-9 senior also matched his season high in minutes with starting center Moussa Cisse sidelined after going down with an ankle injury Monday versus West Virginia. However, this strong showing by Boone was for naught, as Oklahoma State was outscored 12-1 by the Longhorns over the final 6.5 minutes of the game. Boone started just four of 26 games in 2021-22, though he's risen to the occasion across 14 starts this season, averaging career highs in points (9.5), rebounds (5.8), assists (1.4) and free-throw percentage (84.6) across 24.0 minutes per contest. Boone should continue to fulfill an even bigger role if Cisse remains out against Kansas State on Tuesday.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Avery Anderson - Rough shooting in loss Anderson recorded five points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Saturday's 56-46 loss to Texas.

Impact Anderson logged his second-lowest scoring performance of the season, and he's now failed to hit a three-pointer since the win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 20. The 6-foot-3 senior has also reached double-digit points in only two of the last five contests, bringing his scoring average down to 11.5 this season. Anderson will look to break this scoring slump when the Cowboys next take the floor Tuesday at Kansas State.

Tyreek Smith - Gets starting nod Smith is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Texas, Cody Nagel of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Smith is starting in place of Moussa Cisse (ankle) Saturday. The junior forward will make his first start of the season.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moussa Cisse - Not warming up Cisse (ankle) is dressed but not warming up for Saturday's game against Texas, Cody Nagel of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Cisse was considered doubtful for Saturday's game, so his non-participation during warmups is not surprising. Barring some drastic turnaround, it looks like he will be sidelined Saturday.
