Thomas Kithier - Logs 25 minutes in return Kithier (back) provided eight points (2-8 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one block across 25 minutes during Saturday's 84-66 loss to Missouri State.
Impact Kithier scored 44 points combined over his first two games of the season, but he hasn't been able to repeat such figures going forward. At the very least he was able to return following a four-game absence, and given he jumped right away into the starting lineup, he should continue in that role going forward.

Thomas Kithier - Remains sidelined Kithier (back) won't play Wednesday at Illinois State, Jim Benson of The Bloomington Pantagraph reports.

Kobe King - Key contributor at Valpo King closed Saturday's 79-72 2OT win over Indiana State with 24 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 43 minutes.
Impact King has bounced around destinations since leaving the Wisconsin program in the middle of the 2019-20 season, but he appears to have finally settled in at a new home in the Horizon League. He wasn't immediately eligible to begin the season due to a agent-related violation that occurred prior to the 2021 NBA G League Draft, but he made his debut Dec. 7 and was immediately put into the starting five the very next game. He's now scored in double figures in all but two of his 14 appearances and leads the Beacons with a 14.9 ppg scoring average. The team success hasn't necessarily followed, however, as Valpo is currently in the bottom half of the standings with a 4-7 conference record.
