FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • Associated Press

Remains out Friday Miles (knee) didn't appear in Friday's win over Connecticut.

Impact Miles was forced to miss a third straight game due to a sore knee. Even when he's healthy, the sophomore hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation.

Won't play Saturday Miles will miss Saturday's game against DePaul due to a sore knee, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles isn't typically a huge contributor for the Musketeers, averaging 2.3 minutes over his last six appearances. The sophomore's next chance to retake the floor comes Wednesday against Seton Hall.

Over stomach bug Miles (illness) has gotten over his stomach bug ahead of Sunday's game versus Marquette, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles isn't a major contributor in the rotation but should be back to provide a handful of minutes off the bench. That being said, Miles could be in line for extra work in Sunday's affair if Zach Freemantle -- who has now been hit by the bug -- winds up sitting out.

Not available Wednesday Miles (illness) won't play Wednesday against DePaul, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles didn't travel with the team due to a non-COVID illness and he'll miss his fourth game of the season as a result. If he can get healthy, his next chance to return will be Sunday against Marquette.

JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays two minutes in return Miles (illness) produced one rebound over two minutes during Saturday's 80-71 victory over Marquette.

Impact Miles returned to the court Saturday following a one-game absence, but he saw minimal playing time off the bench. It's not yet clear whether he'll reclaim his starting role at some point after he started each of the first nine games of the year.

Not starting Saturday Miles (illness) isn't among the starters for Saturday's game against Marquette, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles rejoined practice Friday and is expected to be available for the Musketeers. While that is still likely the case, Miles has typically started when healthy and that isn't in the equation Saturday. Assuming he does play as expected, it will come in a bench role for the first time this season.

DECEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Looks to be back Saturday Miles (illness) returned to practice Friday and should be available for Saturday's contest against Marquette, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 6-foot-11 center missed Xavier's last contest due to an illness but should be ready to go for the team's contest against Marquette. This is great news for the Musketeers as Miles has been the team's starting center throughout his first nine appearances of the year. Zach Freemantle figures to move back to the bench with Miles' return.

DECEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Miles (illness) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against Morehead State, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles and Cesare Edwards both came down with the flu this week and will be unable to go Wednesday. He will hope to be back on Saturday against Marquette.

DECEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with flu Miles has missed the last two days of practice with the flu, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact There is a flu bug that has been making its way around the Xavier program for the last couple weeks. Miles is the latest casualty of that. We will have to wait and see if he feels well enough to be able to take on Morehead State on Wednesday.

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited run in return Miles ended Wednesday's 78-45 win over Central Michigan with three points (1-2 FG, 1-5 FT), one rebound, two blocks and one steal over 14 minutes.

Impact While Miles returned to the starting lineup after missing Sunday's game -- along with several other key players -- due to illness, it's highly possible that trend won't last much longer. Miles was outplayed by Jack Nunge off the bench, who racked up 10 points and seven rebounds in the contest. Wednesday also represented the return of Zach Freemantle from a foot injury, and while Freemantle didn't see much time here, he's an all-conference caliber player who was expected to start at center all along. While Miles has longer-term upside, his fantasy value will likely slide as the Musketeers march towards Big East play.

Returning from illness Miles (illness) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Central Michigan, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles was one of three Xavier players that were held out with a non-COVID related illness last week against Virginia Tech. Miles will hope to take advantage of Zach Freemantle likely being on a minutes restriction.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Friday Miles (illness) likely won't play Friday against Virginia Tech, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Miles and Colby Jones are both unlikely to play due to a non-COVID illness, while Adam Kunkel and Jerome Hunter will both be game-time decisions for the same reason. If Miles and Jones are unavailable, then Nate Johnson and Jack Nunge are both likely candidates to join the starting lineup.

Could see more run early on Head coach Travis Steele is going to give Miles (knee) an early look at the five spot, Adam Baum of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles missed 12 of Xavier's last 13 game of the 2020-21 season due to a knee injury, but it appears he's back to practicing in a full capacity, earning the "Xavier Way" award (aka gold jersey) last week. On top of that, Miles finds himself in a situation where two of his fellow frontcourt players are not fully healthy. Preseason all-Big East forward Zach Freemantle was recently spotted in a walking boot, while Iowa transfer Jack Nunge continues to work his way back from a second major knee surgery. It's possible Miles could be one of the only true centers available for Friday's team scrimmage, and the team will get a longer look at him in a Nov. 5 exhibition against Ferris State. Should either Nunge or Freemantle get held out early, Miles could be a sneaky add in daily and Big East-only formats.

OCTOBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Wednesday Miles (knee) won't take the floor Wednesday against Providence, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Miles has seen action in just two games since Dec. 2 and his string of unavailability will extend for at least another contest. His next opportunity to take the floor comes Saturday against Creighton., and his recent day-to-day designation sounds promising for a potential return in the near future.

FEBRUARY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Considered day-to-day Miles is considered day-to-day with a knee injury, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles was unable to play in Sunday's win over Butler, and he's apparently dealing with a knee injury. He should be considered questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against Providence, although he likely won't have much playing time even if he's active.

FEBRUARY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play Sunday Miles (undisclosed) didn't play in Sunday's 63-51 win over Butler.

Impact Miles wasn't seen in warmups for an undisclosed reason, and he didn't appear off the bench Sunday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Wednesday's game against Providence.

FEBRUARY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not warming up Sunday Miles isn't warming up ahead of Sunday's game for an undisclosed reason, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles has seen minimal playing time recently, but it appears as though he could miss Sunday's contest. If he's indeed sidelined, his absence shouldn't have a significant impact on Xavier's rotation.

FEBRUARY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not much action in return Miles logged one point (0-0 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across four minutes in his return to the court Saturday against Connecticut.

Impact Miles was said to be available for a Jan. 30 contest against Butler, but the reserve big man ultimately didn't take the court. The 6-10 freshman did see action in the following contest, but with Zach Freemantle putting up a stellar 30 points, Xavier ultimately rode the hot hand and didn't give Miles much action. Miles hasn't seen double-digit minutes in a game since all the way back in November, so it appears he's merely a depth option for the time being.

FEBRUARY 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not been able to practice yet Miles (undisclosed) has not been able to practice yet, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Coach Travis Steele ruled Miles out of Saturday's game with Seton Hall, but added that the team is hopeful to get their big man back at some point next week. Xavier will play UConn next Wednesday.

JANUARY 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Practice return forthcoming Miles (undisclosed) is scheduled to return to practice this week, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles hasn't seen much action since the season's opening week and doesn't appear to have participated in practice in any capacity since late-December. While his exact injury remains unknown, the 6-10 center appears to at least be a step closer to providing post depth for the Musketeers.

JANUARY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Missing time due to injury Miles has missed three consecutive games for Xavier due to an undisclosed injury, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Miles has played single-digit minutes in the majority of games he's appeared in, so his absence was easily disguised as a freshman simply falling out of the rotation when the competition got tougher. It does appear an injury is to blame, however, though details are sparse. It's unclear what type of timetable to 6-10 center is looking at to return to his depth role.

DECEMBER 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 points off bench Miles (knee) put up 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three assists, two blocks, and one rebound in a rout of Oakland on Wednesday.

Impact Miles had his freshman campaign halted by knee surgery, but the 6-10 forward was impressive in the 2020-21 season opener off the bench. Xavier absolutely blew the doors off Oakland, so it's not clear if Miles will get 18 minutes every game. Nevertheless, he still figures to stay a part of the rotation in some way.
