WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS NEWS

Hunter Sallis - Scores 14 points Thursday Sallis totaled 14 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 80-64 victory over North Carolina A&T.

Impact Sallis has scored in double digits in his first two outings of the 2024-25 season, and he should be one of Wake Forest's most reliable offensive weapons on a game-to-game basis. His efficiency is not really there, though, as Sallis is shooting just 35 percent from the field in his first two appearances.

Tre'Von Spillers - Outstanding in win Thursday Spillers notched 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 16 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 33 minutes during Thursday's 80-64 victory over North Carolina A&T.

Impact Every one of the starters scored in double digits for Wake Forest in this game, but there's no question Spillers carried the team to victory after leading the Demon Deacons in both points and rebounds. He's been productive in the first week of action in the regular season, racking up 24 points, 25 rebounds and four blocks in his first two outings.

Impact Wake Forest didn't have major problems to get past Coppin State in their season opener, and Hildreth played a prominent role in this win thanks to his two-way contributions. He figures to play a big role in the team going forward.

Churchill Abass - Doesn't play in opener Abass sat out Wake Forest's 64-49 opening night win over Coppin State.

Impact Abass doesn't appear to be injured, so it's possible the DePaul transfer simply hasn't cracked the Demon Deacons' rotation quite yet. He averaged 3.9 points and 3.5 rebounds last season at DePaul while appearing in 30 games and staring 13.
