Headed to Evansville Casey has announced his commitment to Evansville ahead of the 2025-26 season, per his personal X.com account.

Impact Casey will make the move to Evansville after spending one season with St. Louis. The 6-foot-9 junior took a medical redshirt during the 2024-25 season as the result of a back injury, appearing in just three games. Casey started his career with Miami, averaging 1.9 points and two rebounds on 9.6 minutes per game (24 games (during the 2023-24 season).

Taking medical redshirt Casey (back) will take a medical redshirt and miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Casey will preserve his collegiate eligibility and opt for a medical redshirt with a back injury that has kept him sidelined for most of the year. The 6-foot-9 junior transfer from Miami saw action in just three games this season prior to his injury.

Unavailable Tuesday Casey is unavailable for Tuesday's game against Fordham after picking up a back injury in practice, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact The severity of Casey's back injury is unknown at this time. He's appeared in just three games this season and his absence won't have much of an impact on the team's rotations.

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.

Suffers hamstring injury Casey recently suffered a pulled hamstring, according to Stu Durando of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact Besides the hamstring being pulled, not much has been publicized about Casey's injury. Fortunately, there are several exhibition games that can be used to potentially clear his injury status, beginning with an Oct. 18 matchup scheduled against Rockhurst.

The 6-foot-9 freshman has appeared in 14 games this season, logging 1.4 points and 1.6 rebounds on 7.8 minutes per game. If Casey is ultimately unable to suit up tonight, his next opportunity to return would be Saturday against Duke.
