Scores 11, grabs six boards Reed (knee) recorded 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 96-60 victory over Tarleton State.

Impact Reed had his first action since undergoing ACL surgery last December. He came off the bench, but was productive in limited minutes against an overmanned opponent. The Tiger non-conference schedule is light, so the 6-10 junior can be brought along gradually.

Available vs. Tarleton State Reed (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against Tarleton State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Now that Reed is available, the question becomes whether or not he can replicate his latest season's stats over a longer span. During his 2024-25 season, he logged 11.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. The problem is that because of his knee injury, Louisiana State used him for fewer than 10 matchups. But leaning towards the optimistic side of the spectrum, Reed continuing to average his aforementioned numbers would easily make him a top option, even with Southeastern Conference standards being exponentially high.

LSU faces the Alabama State Hornets after Jalen Reed scored 24 points in LSU's 95-60 victory against the UL Monroe Warhawks

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • Associated Press

Overpowers ULM Reed contributed 24 points (8-9 FG, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 95-60 win over ULM.

Impact Reed was simply too much for the Warhawks inside. The center's 24 points were a career-high, and LSU's offense will open up dramatically if the Tigers can consistently and reliably pitch the ball to the big man inside. With a soft out-of-conference schedule, Reed should continue to eat for the foreseeable future.
