Hayden Assemian - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Active in exhibition play Assemian (undisclosed) appeared in both international exhibition games for the Gamecocks in August.

Impact Assemian missed the final six games of his freshman season with an unspecified injury, but the fact he's playing in low-stakes exhibition contests bodes well for his health in 2026-27. He was effective too, putting up 10 points and eight boards against Victory on Aug. 8 and following it up with an eight-point, six-rebound performance two days later against the Bahamas National Team. He looks to firmly be in the mix for wing minutes despite spending the majority of his freshman year in a depth role.
