Naheem McLeod - Finally available McLeod (foot) logged six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across five minutes during Syracuse's exhibition game Saturday against Clarion.

Impact Back in January, McLeod suffered a foot injury, which eventually required surgery that prematurely ended his 2023-24 season. It took more than three-fourths of a year, but he is finally healthy again. Unfortunately for McLeod, Eddie Lampkin enrolled at Syracuse, giving Syracuse a center who can both rebound and score. The addition dampens McLeod's upside, especially after Lampkin was SU's starting center Saturday.
