Dan Skillings Jr. - Warming up, not starting Skillings (knee) is in uniform and going through warmups, Brice Cherry of the Waco Tribune-Herald reports. However, he's not part of the Bears' starting lineup.

Impact Skillings was considered a game-time call, and with tipoff approaching, there hasn't been any clarity on his availability. The forward had started in all but one game this season, though his lone appearance with the reserves was his most recent outing.

Dan Skillings Jr. - Remains questionable Skillings (knee) is listed as questionable on Baylor's final injury report ahead of Friday's game against Kansas.

Impact Skillings was labeled questionable on the initial report, and was called a game-time decision earlier Friday. His availability will likely be based on how his knee responds to pregame warm-ups.

Dan Skillings Jr. - Game-time decision Friday Skilings (knee) is a game-time decision for Friday's game at Kansas, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Baylor will update Skillings' injury status 90 minutes the team logs another road game. Even though the team recently defeated Oklahoma State, Kansas is expected to provide a more difficult challenge, especially with positive momentum after defeating Big 12 powerhouse Iowa State on Tuesday. Averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds this season, Skillings provides versatile yet needed production for a Baylor team struggling in terms of health.

Michael Rataj - Tough start to Big 12 play Rataj had six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Saturday's 77-55 loss to Houston.

Impact It's been a bit of a tough start to Big 12 play for Rataj, who averaged 10.4 ppg and 6.6 rpg over the first 12 games of the season but is posting just 6.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in three conference games. Granted, the opponents have been some of the top teams in the league, but two of those games have been at home, and Baylor is on a three-game losing streak nonetheless. The Bears will need to rally soon to stay on the fringes of the NCAA Tournament conversation, and that starts with a road matchup Tuesday at Oklahoma State.

Tounde Yessoufou - Slowing down in league play? Yessoufou supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's 77-55 loss to Houston.

Impact Yessoufou finished non-conference action with back-to-back 28-point games, but the scoring has trailed off in league play, as he's averaged 10.3 ppg in three Big 12 games, and the Bears have came away with an 0-3 record. Granted, those losses have came against some of the best the Big 12 has to offer, but the risk of hitting that freshman wall is still a concern. The freshman and projected first-round NBA Draft pick will look to bounce back Tuesday at Oklahoma State.

Dan Skillings Jr. - Doubtful Tuesday Skillings (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against Oklahoma State.

Impact Skillings avoided any major damage to his knee during Saturday's loss against Houston, per Brice Cherry of the Waco Tribune-Herald, but he remains unlikely to suit up for the Bears on Tuesday night. The 6-foot-6 senior, who is averaging 11.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 steals on 27.5 minutes per game, is expected to make his return "sooner rather than later" according to head coach Scott Drew.

James Nnaji - Steady contributor for Bears Nnaji notched three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes during Saturday's 77-55 loss to Houston.

Impact With various injuries happening in the Baylor frontcourt in 2025, Nnaji was a controversial mid-year addition at the semester break, and he's been playing meaningful minutes despite the Bears going 0-3 with him in the rotation. The 7-0 backup center has increased his rebounding total in each of the three games he's appeared in so far, culminating in a season-best total Saturday against a tough Houston frontcourt. Considering he's only attempted six shots in three games, Nnaji likely won't be on the fantasy radar, as his value comes mostly from a real-life and defensive perspective. His next chance to make an impact will be Tuesday at Oklahoma State.

Caden Powell - Third double double off bench Powell provided 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-5 FT) and 11 rebounds across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 70-60 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Powell continues to be a vital weapon off the bench for the Bears, nabbing eight of his team-high 11 rebounds on the offensive end en route to his fourth double digit rebounding effort in five games. By also adding 11 points, Powell tallied his second double double in three games and his third of the season. The senior big man is now averaging 6.9 points and 8.4 rebounds across 21.8 minutes per contest.
