Joining the Golden Bears Bell has announced his commitment to California,Joe Tipton of On3.com reports.

Impact Bell will make the move to California after spending the past few years with Syracuse. The 6-foot-7 junior appeared in all 33 games with the Orange last season (13 starts), averaging 9.3 points, two rebounds and 0.5 assists on 21.5 minutes per game.

APRIL 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moving on from Syracuse Bell will enter the transfer portal, Joe Tipton of On3.com reports.

Impact Bell spent three seasons at Syracuse, and was an every-game starter for the first two. In 2024-2025, however, he was relegated to a bench role at the start of ACC play. He was still a big factor for the Orange, averaging 9.1 points across 19.4 minutes even after getting moved to the bench. Notably, he also shot nearly 44 percent from distance in that time frame. Still, usurped in the starting five and with an uncertain future with the Orange, Bell will move on for his senior season, and should field plenty of high-major offers.

Shines off bench Tuesday Bell accumulated 23 points (7-15 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 80-69 loss to Pittsburgh.

Scores 18 points off bench Bell accumulated 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 85-61 loss to Louisville.

Impact Bell didn't do much outside of scoring, but his contributions were enough to rank him as the team's highest scorer. Bell has played in the second unit in Syracuse's last four games, and he's likely to remain in that role after scoring in double digits three times in that span.

Coming off bench Saturday Bell is not included in the starting rotation for Saturday's game against Florida State, Mike Waters of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Bell will not be starting for the first time this season and will be replaced by JJ Starling. The junior forward has logged over 15 minutes in two of his last three outings.

Goes for 18 points Bell chipped in 18 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and six rebounds across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 102-85 victory over Albany.

Impact Donnie Freeman came off the bench and led Syracuse in scoring with an excellent 24-point performance, but Bell was the highest-scoring player among the starters for the Orange. This was his sixth game with double-digit points across nine appearances, and he should remain a regular presence in the starting lineup going forward.

Goes for 22 points Friday Bell closed with 22 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 11-11 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Friday's 79-74 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Bell was impressive as a scorer despite the loss, and even though he didn't contribute much in other categories, the 22-point output was enough to keep him relevant in most fantasy slates. Bell has reached the 20-point mark in two of his five appearances this season.

Scores season-high 30 points Bell amassed 30 points (11-15 FG, 8-10 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 94-92 win over Louisville.

Impact Bell was coming off two single-digit scoring performances against Boston College and Wake Forest, but he bounced back with an outstanding performance here, and his offensive contributions were key as the Orange surpassed the Cardinals in a tight contest. Bell has scored in double digits in six of his last nine appearances, averaging 12.6 points and shooting 47 percent from the field in that span.
