Matt Knowling - Expected to be available Knowling (head) is expected to be available for USC's game Sunday against California, per Connor Morrissette of 247Sports.
Impact Even though Knowling continues to be a game-time decision, USC's probability of using him Sunday improved after the Morrisette announcement. Unsurprisingly, he is not part of the Trojans' starting lineup against California, so his official availability will be determined mid-game.

Impact Dorian will be available for Sunday's game against Cal after missing each of the team's first three games of the season. The 6-foot-3 sophomore will hope to make an impact for the Trojans in his season debut as he looks to earn a spot within the USC rotation.

Kallai Patton - Out Sunday Patton (undisclosed) is out for USC's matchup against Cal on Sunday, per the team's official injury report.
Impact Patton will be held out of Sunday's matchup, marking his fourth consecutive missed game for the Trojans.

Bryce Pope - Game-time decision Sunday Pope (undisclosed) is listed as questionable on USC's official team injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against Cal.
Impact Pope will be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's contest after missing each of the team's last two games with an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-3 junior played just four minutes in his lone game this season against Chattanooga, failing to score a point while grabbing a single rebound. Should Pope be held out of Sunday's game, a home matchup against San Jose State on Wednesday will serve as his next chance to return.

Matt Knowling - Questionable against Cal Knowling (head) is listed as questionable on USC's official team injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against Cal.

The 6-foot-6 senior suffered the injury against Idaho State and was subsequently held out of the second half in that contest. Knowling will hope to make himself available against the Bears, but should he be ruled out, his next opportunity to return to action will come against San Jose State on Wednesday.

Jalen Shelley - Logs one minute Wednesday Shelley (ankle) registered no counting stats in one minute during Wednesday's 98-95 win over UT Arlington.
Impact Shelley was listed as a game-time decision with an ankle injury, and though he played just a single minute and failed to record a counting stat, his appearance on the court is encouraging to see. The freshman forward aggravated the injury in last week's game against Idaho State as he played just three minutes against the Bengals, and while it is clearly not back to 100 percent, his ability to play even a single minute suggests that the injury isn't too serious. He will hope to continue his recovery and make himself available for Sunday's matchup against Cal.

Kevin Patton - Returns to action Wednesday Patton (hip) registered seven points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 98-95 win over UT Arlington.
Impact Patton was previously listed as a game-time decision after missing each of the team's first two games of the season with a hip injury, but the sophomore guard was able to make his return against UT Arlington. Though he played limited minutes in his season debut, Patton didn't look too hampered by the injury as he provided a highlight one-handed slam in the second half on his way to seven points on the day. His next opportunity to open it up will come when the Trojans face off against Cal on Sunday.
