Kalib Boone - Won't play Friday Boone (shoulder) won't play Friday against Oakland, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Boone was able to warm up for a second straight game Friday, but he'll be held out once again due to his shoulder injury. Bernard Kouma and Keylan Boone could see increased work against Oakland.

Kalib Boone - Warming up Friday Boone (shoulder) is warming up ahead of Friday's game against Oakland, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Coach Mike Boynton said prior to Friday's matchup that he doesn't expect Boone to play against Oakland, so it's not yet clear whether he'll actually take the court. However, the junior has been able to warm up ahead of each of the first two games of the season and appears to be trending toward a return.

Bryce Thompson - 14 points off bench Thompson came off the bench and provided 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and three rebounds in a rout of UT-Arlington on Tuesday.

Impact It was a bit unclear on how the former five-star recruit would fit into Oklahoma State's rotation after coming over from Kansas in the offseason. While Thompson did not start, he played the second-most minutes on the team and had the most shot attempts. We will likely have to see a few more games to know how head coach Mike Boynton will handle the backcourt rotation, but Thompson could certainly prove to be a factor at some point this season if he keeps this up.

Avery Anderson - Contributes across board in rout Anderson put up 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds, three steals, and a block in a rout of UT-Arlington on Tuesday.

Impact Anderson showed the ability to command the offense with Cade Cunningham no longer in the fold. The junior is in position to really put together a big season and start to be known on a national level. Anderson should be tested a bit more against Oakland on Friday.

Moussa Cisse - Big game in opener Cisse notched a game-high 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks, one assist, and a steal in Tuesday's win over UT-Arlington.

Impact The Memphis transfer fit in great right away for the Cowboys, coming just one rebound shy of a double-double in a dominant debut. He did all that in just 18 minutes, but should play more than that on Friday against Oakland who took West Virginia down to the wire in their opener.

Chris Harris - Fails to see court in opener Harris (knee) did not take part in Tuesday's 88-45 victory over UT-Arlington.

Impact While Harris was spotted in warmups during exhibition play, the Cowboys don't seem to be comfortable deploying the 6-2 guard quite yet. 13 players were ultimately used in this contest, so if healthy, Harris likely would have at least seen a little run. His next chance to take the court will be Friday against Oakland.

Kalib Boone - Logs DNP in opener Boone (shoulder) did not take the court in Tuesday's 88-45 victory over UT-Arlington.

Impact Boone will presumably have a meaningful role when healthy, as he started 24 of 30 games last season that resulted in averages of 9.4 points and 5.4 rebounds. In the meantime, Moussa Cisse drew the start at center and lead the team in both scoring (17) and rebounding (9). The next chance for Boone to suit up will be Friday against Oakland, but with another lopsided affair expected, it wouldn't be shocking to see him used conservatively, if at all.

NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe - Not starting opener Moncrieffe is not in the starting five for Tuesday's opener against UT-Arlington.

Impact Moncrieffe started 14 of a possible 28 games for the Cowboys last season and was at one point thought to be in contention for point guard minutes this season, especially with Bryce Williams suspended for opening night (and likely beyond). He won't crack the starting five for now, at least, with coach Mike Boynton instead rolling out Avery Anderson, Rondel Walker, Isaac Likekele, Donovan Williams and Moussa Cisse.

Chris Harris - Participated in warmups Harris (knee) did not participate in Friday's exhibition game, though he warmed up with the team, Cody Nagel of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact The junior guard missed the majority of last season after tearing his ACL and then re-tearing it after recovering. Harris only played in 23 games through two seasons as a result. Warming up is a big step for Harris, who had not been cleared fully for basketball activities as of August 23. Out of high school, Harris was a four-star recruit in the 2019 class and started three games as a freshman.

Kalib Boone - Warmed up for exhibition game Boone (shoulder) warmed up but did not participate in Friday's exhibition game against Central Oklahoma, Cody Nagel of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boynton Jr. told the media, "It's not major...I think he'll be back when we need him to be back to play games, and it gives me an opportunity to see some of the other guys practice." The junior averaged 9.4 points on 20.6 minutes a game as a starter last season.

NOVEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Bryce Williams - On indefinite suspension Williams will not take part in Friday's exhibition versus Central Oklahoma and is serving an indefinite suspension, Cody Nagel of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Williams' suspension stems from a DUI arrest in mid-August, leaving the senior out of the rotation for the time being. It's unclear exactly how long the absence for Williams will last, but the Cowboys will be down a significant member of the rotation in the meantime. Williams averaged 7.3 points, 1.9 assists and 1.8 rebounds over 23.8 minutes per game last year and started 19 of the 28 games he took part in.
