Impact Kaiser started the season opener Wednesday and put together a good performance as he was one of two Bulldogs to record a double-double.

He was one of four Bulldogs to play at least 22 minutes, indicating he's set to have a big role in the rotation this season.

Impact Kaiser, a Maryland transfer, has yet to play this season while nursing an ankle injury, and Butler will need to wait until the 2025-2026 campaign to deploy their guard. He'll have three seasons of eligibility remaining still, but his loss hurts Butler's depth for the time being.

Out indefinitely Kaiser is out indefinitely due to an ankle injury, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Considering that Kaiser is one of only two players who transferred to Butler from Power Conference schools back in the summer, him being out indefinitely is a big deal. The team does not even have multiple weeks before its upcoming season begins, so his absence stretching into regular-season action is definitely a possibility.
