Continues strong play off bench Brakefield accumulated 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 98-84 win over Kentucky.

Impact Brakefield has been a great piece for Ole Miss off the bench. He's quietly scored in double figures in eight straight games, with only one of those being a start. At 6-foot-8, his ability to knock down multiple threes in a game does wonders for the Rebels' spacing as well. He'll continue to be an X-factor for head coach Chris Beard's squad as March draws closer.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Provides value in spot start Brakefield fouled out of Saturday's 83-75 loss to Missouri after recording 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes.

Impact Despite appearing on the injury report this week, Brakefield has yet to miss a game this season and even made his first start of 2024-25 on Saturday, taking the spot of Dre Davis, who was sidelined with an undisclosed injury of his own. His production of late has ramped up even without occupying the starting five, as Brakefield is averaging 14.6 points and 5.2 rebounds over the last five games -- four of which as a reserve. Ole Miss may have hit a rough patch with three consecutive losses, but the fifth-year senior is producing at roughly the same rate he did in the 2023-24 campaign.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Saturday Brakefield is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Missouri, per Calum McAndrew of the Columbia Tribune.

Impact Brakefield will get the start at power forward in place of Dre Davis, who is dealing with an undisclosed injury. Brakefield is averaging 10.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 19 games played this season.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Off final injury report Brakefield (undisclosed) isn't listed on Mississippi's final injury report ahead of the Rebels' clash with Texas A&M.

Impact The senior forward was in danger of missing his first game of the season, but he'll be suited up and ready to roll against the Aggies. Brakefield averages 10.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists as a critical factor in Ole Miss' front court.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Wednesday Brakefield is probable for Wednesday's game against Texas A&M due to an undisclosed injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The extent of the injury is uncertain, but the probable tag suggests Brakefield might be able to suit up anyway. The big man is averaging 10.2 points and 5.0 rebounds per game this season.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Consecutive double-digit outings Brakefield racked up 13 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 74-64 victory over Alabama.

Impact Brakefield continues to be a huge part of the Rebels' game-plan as a sixth man. The forward hasn't gotten to the line with that much consistency this season, but he went a perfect 7-of-7 from the charity stripe in the big win over Alabama. He has a combined 29 points in his last two outings, and if he can keep it up into the meat of SEC play, that would be massive for Ole Miss.

Thriving in fifth man role Brakefield closed with 15 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 74-61 win over Southern University.

Impact Brakefield hasn't started a game for Ole Miss this season, but he's putting up starter-level numbers, averaging 10.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 48.7 percent from the field. He's playing his role extremely well, and has been a valuable piece for the Rebels. Brakefield's 15 points against Southern were his second-highest total this season.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Vital rotation piece for Rebs Brakefield provided 14 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 64-54 win over South Alabama.

Impact Brakefield has yet to start a game this season, but he's averaging 26.3 minutes and he played 30 minutes against South Alabama. He also has double digit points in each game this year, including a season-high 14 against the Jaguars. Starter or not, Brakefield looks like an integral part of the the Rebels' lineup.
