Ebuka Okorie - College Basketball News & Rumors

Explodes for 32 points Saturday Okorie produced 32 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 18-21 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Saturday's 77-68 victory over Colorado.

Impact Okorie was doubtful to play in this game due to a lower-body injury, but he recovered quicker than expected and posted an impressive stat line. The 32 points were a season-high mark for the freshman guard, who has scored at least 20 points in six of his 10 outings so far in 2025-26.

Starting vs. Colorado Okorie (lower body) is in Stanford's starting five ahead of the Cardinal's clash with Colorado.

Impact Okorie wasn't expected to be available until after Christmas, but the star point guard, who averages 21.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists, is back in the lineup for the Cardinal on the road at Colorado. Given how easily he's stuffed the stat sheet in his freshman year, this is obviously huge news for Stanford.

Sidelined until after Christmas Okorie (lower body) isn't expected to return to action until after Christmas, per Lucca Mazzie of Sports Illustrated.

Impact Okorie missed the last two games for Stanford, but judging by the above return timeline, he should only be slated for one more absence. That's huge news for Stanford, as the star freshman averages 21.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists. Don't expect him to suit up Saturday at Colorado, but he should be primed to return on Dec. 27 against Cal State-Northridge.

Out vs. UT-Arlington Okorie (lower body) is out against UT-Arlington on Wednesday night, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Okorie will miss his second straight game. This is a big loss for Stanford, as the starting point guard averages 21.0 points 3.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists. In his stead, expect Jeremy Dent-Smith to draw the start once again.

Out with lower body ailment Okorie (lower body) is out against San Jose State on Saturday, per Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com.

Impact Okorie is reportedly day-to-day moving forward. The freshman has started every game for the Cardinal this season and has been on an absolute tear, averaging 21.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists. This should mean more minutes for Jeremy Dent-Smith for the time being.

Scores 18 despite shooting woes Okorie totaled 18 points (4-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-12 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 75-74 loss to UNLV.

Impact Okorie is firmly established as Stanford's best player, and his numbers back that up. Even though he struggled with his shot in this loss to the Rebels, the freshman guard has scored 15-plus points in all but one game this season. He's averaging 21.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and he should remain a valuable fantasy commodity even in games where the team struggles.

Leading scorer for Stanford Okorie posted 26 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-13 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 93-66 win over Louisiana.

Impact Okorie led the way for Stanford in the scoring column, and he continues to show that he can be a reliable offensive weapon on a game-to-game basis. The star floor general is emerging as one of the best scorers in the ACC and has reached the 20-point plateau in each of his four outings so far in 2025-26.
