Reese Dixon-Waters - Not starting Dixon-Waters is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Arizona State, Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Dixon-Waters was inserted into the starting lineup last week but will return to his usual spot off the bench with Tre White moving back into the first five. Dixon-Waters had been battling an illness earlier in the week but was seen warming up and should be a factor even if he ends up being slightly limited.

Tre White - Back in starting five White is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Arizona State, Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact White was brought off the bench in the regular season finale for the first time since Nov. 15 after putting together a seven-game stretch during which he shot just 27.5 percent from the floor. White was able to bounce back, scoring 13 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and adding seven rebounds in 31 minutes. The 6-7 freshman will move back into the starting five and look to put together a similar performance to help the Trojans advance to the conference semifinals.

Vincent Iwuchukwu - Officially out Thursday Iwuchukwu (back) will not play in Thursday's game against Arizona State, Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports.com reports.

Reese Dixon-Waters - Expected to play Dixon-Waters (illness) is expected to be good to play in Thursday's quarterfinal matchup against the Sun Devils, Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Dixon-Waters was reportedly under the weather earlier in the week and was unable to partake in practice. The 6-5 sophomore expects to be available to contribute but it seems unlikely he'll remain in the starting lineup after being added to the first five for the regular season finale. Dixon-Waters has been a solid contributor throughout the course of the year, averaging 9.5 points and 3.1 rebounds over 25.1 minutes per contest.

Vincent Iwuchukwu - Listed as doubtful Iwuchukwu (back) is doubtful to play in Thursday's game against Arizona State, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Iwuchukwu seems slated to miss his second straight game with a back injury. To close out the regular season, Kijani Wright saw a season-high 24 minutes in the win over the Sun Devils with Iwuchukwu sidelined and could be in for similar usage as the primary backup to Joshua Morgan. It's unclear when Iwuchukwu could be expected to return to the lineup.

Vincent Iwuchukwu - Conference tournament status iffy Head coach Andy Enfield said that he's uncertain whether Iwuchukwu (back) will be available for Thursday's Pac-12 Tournament game, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Iwuchukwu was also sidelined during USC's win over Arizona State on Saturday due to a back issue, and he's currently at risk of missing consecutive contests should be fail to gain medical clearance before Thursday. Tre White and Kijani Wright would both presumably receive additional front-court minutes behind starter Joshua Morgan should the 7-foot-1 freshman eventually miss more time.

Dixon-Waters finishes the 2022-23 regular season averaging 9.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists while playing 25.1 minutes per game across 27 appearances.
