Jordi Rodriguez - Spotted warming up Rodriguez (head) is warming up ahead of Cincinnati's clash with Lipscomb on Monday, per Neil Meyer of Front Office News.
Impact Rodriguez averages 3.1 points and 1.3 rebounds this season as a minor bench piece for the Bearcats. Thus, his availability shouldn't have much of an impact on Cincinnati as he looks to return from a one-game absence.
DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler McKinley - Warming up Monday McKinley (lower body) is warming up ahead of Cincinnati's clash with Lipscomb, per Neil Meyer of Front Office News.
Impact McKinley has missed the last two games for the Bearcats, but this is a good sign that he'll limit his absence to two contests. The freshman forward averaged just 2.0 points and 3.0 rebounds prior to going down with a lower body injury, however, so, his presence likely doesn't mean all that much for Cincinnati.

Tyler McKinley - Questionable Monday McKinley (lower body) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Lipscomb, per CBSSports.com.
Impact McKinley will hope to make his return to action on Monday following a two-game absence due to a lower body injury. The 6-foot-9 freshman has averaged two points and 3.2 rebounds per game in 14.2 minutes per game across 10 contests for the Bearcats this season. If he is unable to give it a go against Lipscomb, he will have to wait until Saturday's matchup against Houston for his next chance to return.
DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Haynes - Questionable Monday Haynes (lower body) may be able to make his return to action on Monday against Lipscomb, per CBSSports.com.
Impact Haynes has missed the entirety of the 2025 season thus far after undergoing surgery in late October, but could make his return before the new year. The 6-foot-8 senior joined the Bearcats in the off-season after transferring in from George Mason, where he averaged 14.1 points and 6.9 rebounds per game across 36 contests. If he is unable to suit up on Monday, he will have to wait until Saturday against Houston for his next chance to return.

Miller scores career-high 26 points and James returns for Cincinnati; Bearcats roll Alabama State

Baba Miller had 26 points and 14 rebounds, leading Cincinnati to an 88-51 victory over Alabama State

Wes Miller Discusses Jizzle James 2025-26 Season Debut Against Alabama State James did not play in the first 10 games and was just reinstated to the roster.
DECEMBER 18, 2025 • SI.COM
Baba Miller - Dominating the paint Miller closed with 26 points (11-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 88-51 victory over Alabama State.
Impact Miller continues to dominate the paint for the Bearcats, cleaning the glass for 14 boards while connecting on all 10 of his shots around the basket en route to a season-high 26 points. The senior big man from Mallorca also connected on his second triple of the season as Cincinnati rolled to the easy win. Miller missed two games at the end of November due to a lower body injury but has shown no lingering effects from the injury, recording three double doubles in four games since returning to the lineup. Since his return, he's averaging 15.0 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 62.2-percent from the floor across 29.5 minutes per contest.
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jizzle James - Scores 16 in return James supplied 16 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 88-51 victory over Alabama State.
Impact The Bearcats were waiting for the return of James, and the star guard didn't disappoint with a strong stat line despite logging only 20 minutes. James should see steady minutes now that he's healthy, and it wouldn't be surprising if he moves back into a starting role in the near future.
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler McKinley - Ruled out Wendesday McKinley (lower body) won't play Wednesday night against Alabama State, the program announced.
Impact McKinley is reportedly day-to-day and will continue to be evaluated for the Bearcats. The issue doesn't appear to be all that serious, but the freshman forward, who averages 2.0 points and 3.0 rebounds, is set to miss an unspecified amount of time.
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jizzle James - Set to return vs. Alabama State James (personal) is set to return against Alabama State on Wednesday, per Neil Meyer of Front Office News.
Impact James has yet to play this season as he's dealt with a personal matter, but the guard appears slated to return against Alabama State in the Bearcats' penultimate out-of-conference game. Last season, James averaged 12.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists, and should immediately resume his role as a difference maker on the court for Cincinnati.

Jizzle James - Added to Cincinnati roster James (personal) is part of Cincinnati's roster again, The Field of 68 reports.
Impact It has been almost four months since Cincinnati dismissed James from the team's basketball program for undisclosed reasons. About a month and a half into the 2025-26 Bearcats' regular season, they have added him back to their roster, with the reasons for his dismissal and return both unknown. Regardless, James adds guard depth to a Cincinnati side the only Big 12 Conference team with less than seven wins this season. During his 2024-25 season with UC, he logged 35 games (all starts) with 12.7 points, 3.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers made per game. According to Neil Meyer of The Front Office News, room was available for James with the team unable to clear Lucas Atauri for its roster. Now, the question is when exactly James will make his 2025-26 debut, with his first opportunity scheduled for Wednesday against Alabama State.
