California Golden Bears Scores & Schedule - College Basketball

Sam Alajiki - Starting Thursday Alajiki is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Colorado.

Impact Alajiki will enter the starting lineup for the fifth time this season and the first since Dec. 21. The 6-7 sophomore is fresh off one of his best efforts of the season, after tallying 13 points and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes off the bench last Saturday despite the team getting blown out 75-46 against Stanford. He should very busy again Thursday and figures to remain in the first five so long as Dejuan Clayton (undisclosed) is sidelined.

Josh Ragsdale - Out for the year Ragsdale (undisclosed) will miss the entire 2022-23 season, Rob Hwang of Write for California reports.

Impact Ragsdale will look to return ahead of next season and try to earn his way into a rotational role.

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

DeJuan Clayton - Unavailable Thursday Clayton is unavailable for Thursday's game against Colorado, Rob Hwang of Write for California reports.

Impact Clayton is inexplicably inactive for Thursday's action after he had played 32 minutes last Saturday versus Stanford. The 6-2 senior did sit out Jan. 22 but has started the last six games he's been active, while averaging 10.3 points and three assists in 31.8 minutes per contest during that span. With their top two guards out of action, the Bears will have no choice but to roll out a bigger starting lineup. Monty Bowser or Sam Alajiki are the leading candidates to step into the first five with Clayton out.

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Devin Askew - Out for remainder of season Askew will miss the rest of the season after undergoing successful sports hernia surgery Wednesday, Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Askew had the surgery Wednesday and is expected to make a full recovery before the start of next season. The Texas transfer averaged a team-leading 15.5 points to go along with 3.4 rebounds and three assists in 31.6 minutes per contest but had missed eight of the last 12 games before Thursday's season-ending injury announcement.

14 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jarred Hyder - Season-ending surgery Hyder was ruled out for the season in early-December after undergoing back surgery, Jeff Faraudo of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Hyder had yet to take the court this season, and when it was reported that a back injury was at fault back in early-December, it was unclear at the time that he had underwent season-ending surgery. With that being the case, and fellow guard Jalen Celestine (knee) also out for the year, the Cal squad's backcourt will be tested the rest of the way out.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Celestine - Could miss rest of season Celestine (knee) may not return this season according to head coach Mark Fox, Jeff Faraudo of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Celestine continues to recover from offseason knee surgery that has prevented him from taking the court for a single game this year. While Fox didn't rule out his return entirely, he seemed far from optimistic. Celestine had been the team's leading returning scorer, but his contributions may have to wait until 2023-24.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Sam Alajiki - First career double-double Alajiki (undisclosed) accumulated 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and 11 rebounds across 31 minutes during Saturday's 75-46 loss to Stanford.

Impact Alajiki missed out on a game six days earlier due to an undisclosed injury, but he was back in action Saturday for the Pac-12 matchup. The sophomore wing made an immediate impact for Cal, as he logged his second-highest minutes total off the bench, in addition to earning his first career double-double. Next up is a road matchup Wednesday at Colorado.

Devin Askew - Out against Stanford Askew (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Stanford, Rob Hwang of Write for California reports.

Impact Askew missed five games due to a foot injury, but returned to play Jan. 22 against Oregon State. It's unclear why he's sidelined for Saturday's Pac-12 showdown, but it could be a strategy to manage his workload. Dejuan Clayton is likely to take over as the team's starting point guard.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

DeJuan Clayton - Returning to action Clayton will play Saturday against Stanford, Rob Hwang of Write for California reports.

Impact Clayton missed last week's game due to an undisclosed issue. However, his absence will be limited to one game, and he'll likely be in a starting role with Devin Askew (undisclosed) sidelined.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lars Thiemann - Five points, seven rebounds in loss Thiemann had five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 FT) and seven rebounds in 20 minutes during Sunday's 68-48 loss to Oregon State.

Impact Thiemann closed Sunday's loss to Oregon State with five points and seven rebounds across 20 minutes of action. The 7-foot-1 senior has started in all 20 games this season, logging 10.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks on 26.8 minutes per game.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Kuany Kuany - Efficient in loss Kuany posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Sunday's 68-48 loss to Oregon State.

Impact Kuany knocked down 6-of-9 attempts from the field, finishing with 15 points and two rebounds during Sunday's loss to Oregon State. The 6-foot-9 senior has appeared in 20 games this season, averaging 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 25.3 minutes per game. Kuany and the Golden Bears will look to bounce back against Stanford on Saturday.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Devin Askew - Big minutes in return Askew ended Sunday's 68-48 loss to Oregon State with eight points (2-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, seven assists and two steals over 33 minutes.

Impact While the shooting performance wasn't anything to write home about, that was the case for the entire Cal offense despite getting 33 minutes from their leading scorer in his return from a five-game absence due to a foot injury. Askew at least did log seven dimes for fantasy managers, but the scoring may be a bit tougher to come by now that the Golden Bears are in the heat of conference play.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Alajiki - DNP vs. Oregon State Alajiki did not play during the Bears' 68-48 loss Sunday versus Oregon State.

Devin Askew - Available to face Oregon State Askew (foot) is available to face Oregon State on Sunday, Rob Hwang of Write For California reports.

Devin Askew - Out once again Askew (foot) will remain out as California hosts Oregon on Wednesday night, per Rob Hwang of Write For California.

Impact Askew's junior year has been a breakout season for the point guard, but it's also been marred by injury. Wednesday's tilt with Oregon will be Askew's eighth missed game. When healthy, he's been a dynamic scorer, logging 16.1 points across 31.5 minutes. His next shot to play will come against Oregon State on Sunday.

Joel Brown - 12 points, five assists in loss Brown amassed 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 81-78 OT loss to Washington.

Impact Brown closed with 12 points, five assists and two steals during Saturday's loss to Washington. The 6-foot-3 senior has been anything but consistent this season, recording 12 points on Saturday after scoring just three points across 64 minutes in California's last two games. Fantasy managers should expect a lot of variability from Brown, who is averaging seven points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.9 steals on 32 minutes per game this season.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Lars Thiemann - Notches 13 in loss Thiemann fouled out of Saturday's 81-78 OT loss to Washington after recording 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes.

Impact Thiemann logged 13 points and seven rebounds across 32 minutes before fouling out during Saturday's loss to Washington. The 7-foot-1 senior has started in all 18 games this season, averaging 11.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks on 27.6 minutes per game. Thiemann will look to help the Golden Bears bounce back when they face off with Oregon on Wednesday.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Monty Bowser - Part of starting lineup Saturday Bowser closed with six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 81-78 OT loss to Washington.

Impact Bowser has 10 points, seven rebounds and two steals across his three games started. Those are rates fantasy managers should not consider significantly beneficial.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Devin Askew - DNP at Washington Askew (foot) did not play during the Golden Bears' 81-78 loss Saturday at Washington.

Impact Askew sat out four games the Golden Bears played from Dec. 31 to Jan. 14. Currently, their next matchup is when they host Oregon on Wednesday.
