Participates in exhibition Casey (hamstring) logged zero points (0-2 FG 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 10 minutes during Saint Louis' exhibition game Friday against Rockhurst.

Impact Despite pulling one of his hamstrings relatively recently, they did not prevent him from participating in Saint Louis' exhibition Friday. Ten minutes is a rough estimation of how much playing time he averaged for Miami's 2023-24 team across his 24 games for it. At least for Saint Louis, a supposedly less competitive squad rotation could allow him more longer opportunities to shine, though they are not a certainty.
