Part of starting lineup Wednesday Anselem supplied two points (1-5 FG), seven rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 70-41 loss to Tennessee.

Impact Anselem was added to the Bulldogs' starting lineup despite averaging only 2.3 points and 3.4 rebounds across their nine games from Dec. 18 to Jan. 21. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if they have him being one of their backups again sooner than later.

Adds eight points Tuesday Anselem (illness) recorded eight points (4-4 FG), two rebounds and one block during Tuesday's loss to Georgia Tech.

Impact The center returned to the lineup after missing the team's previous contest with an illness and finished with his best performance offensively since Nov. 18.

Does not practice Anselem (illness) did not practice Monday, according to the Athens Banner-Herald.

Impact Anselem did not participate in the Bulldogs' final practice before their upcoming game Tuesday at Georgia Tech. Fantasy managers should consider him doubtful more than probable or questionable.

Out with illness Anselem is unavailable for Friday's game against Florida A&M due to an apparent illness, Anthony Dasher of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Anselem will be sidelined for at least Friday's game while dealing with an illness. The 6-10 junior started the first three games of the season but has come off the bench since and has not played more than 20 minutes. His absence will affect the Bulldogs' frontcourt depth as he'll look to return Dec. 6 against Georgia Tech.

Not starting Friday Anselem will operate off the bench during Friday's contest against Bucknell.

Impact Anselem started the team's first three games of the season, but he'll shift to the bench with Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe returning from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. Anselem figures to still see around 15-20 minutes as a reserve.

Not starting Saturday Anselem will not start on Saturday for Syracuse as they take on Miami.

Impact Anselem, who has started the last six games for Syracuse, will come off the bench on Saturday. Syracuse will roll out their senior day lineup, giving Bourama Sidibe the start at center. Anselem has appeared in 29 games this season, averaging 2.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.4 blocks on 13 minutes per game.

MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 15 boards in start Anselem contributed six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 71-59 loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact With Jesse Edwards (wrist) sidelined, Anselem drew his first start of the campaign and grabbed a season-high 15 boards to go along with two blocks. Syracuse has a full week off before returning to action Feb. 19, so Edwards should have plenty of time to rest his wrist. Nonetheless, if he's sidelined again, Anselem will be a prime candidate for another increased role.

Moves into starting lineup Anselem will start Saturday against Virginia Tech.

Impact With Jesse Edwards sidelined with a wrist injury, it'll be Anselem getting the first crack at the starting center role. Anselem has not started a game before Saturday and has only averaged 10 minutes per game thus far.

Is Syracuse center Frank Anselem coming back next season? (Mike’s Mailbox) Syracuse.com basketball reporter Mike Waters answers readers' questions.

MAY 6, 2021 • SYRACUSE.COM

Available Saturday Anselem (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against Virginia Tech, according to Stephen Bailey of 247Sports.com.

Impact Anselem was available for the game against Miami earlier this week but didn't play, and he was spotted warming up before Saturday's contest. With that in mind, he could be an option to come off the bench. He hasn't played in any of Syracuse's last seven contests, however, so his impact would be minimal if available.

Appears active Tuesday Anselem (undisclosed) appears to be active for Tuesday's game against Miami, Stephen Bailey of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Anselem has been warming up pregame and is in the lay-up lines. It's really unclear how much he will play at this point, however.

JANUARY 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up pregame Anselem (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of Tuesday's game against Miami, Stephen Bailey of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Anselem has been out since Dec. 16 due to an undisclosed injury. There was no timetable for his return, but it's looking like he might be able to get back to action on Tuesday. Though, his role is really undefined with the team.

JANUARY 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out two more weeks at least Anselem will miss at least two more weeks due to COVID-19 protocols, Matthew Gutierrez of The Athletic reports.

Impact Anselem has not seen the floor since Dec. 16, though he often sees time only when games get out of hand. Syracuse has problems at center, as Bourama Sidibe (knee) is out indefinitely and John Bol Ajak is too small to fill the role, according to head coach Jim Boeheim. Sophomore Jesse Edwards is reportedly developing at practice, but he's only found the floor five times this season. The Orangemen will continue to play small while they wait for players to return.

JANUARY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not warming up Anselem is in sweats and isn't warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Georgetown, Mike Waters of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Adams missed Wednesday's game due to COVID-19 protocols, and it appears as though he'll miss a second straight game Saturday. He should play a depth role once he returns to play.

News on Syracuse big men Bourama Sidibe and Frank Anselem before Pitt game Neither Orange center will play against the visiting Panthers.

JANUARY 6, 2021 • SYRACUSE.COM

Won't play Wednesday Anselem will sit out Wednesday's game versus Pittsburgh as he continues to work his way back from COVID-19 protocols, Stephen Bailey of 247Sports reports.

Impact Anselem hasn't been a particularly huge contributor for the Orange thus far, but his absence will leave the team down a little bench depth among the bigs again Wednesday. He should rejoin the bench mix once he's cleared the protocols and has a practice or two under his belt.

JANUARY 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not participating in warmups Anselem is in sweats and not warming up ahead of Wednesday's game versus Pittsburgh, Stephen Bailey of 247Sports reports.

Impact Anselem has averaged just 6.5 minutes per game through four contests thus far but doesn't appear to be available off the bench Wednesday. His next chance to take the floor arrives Saturday versus Georgetown, though it's not a guarantee he will take the floor even if available.
