Scores 11 points Thursday Starling provided 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 71-63 win over Saint Joseph's.

Impact Starling has been Syracuse's most consistent player this season, scoring in double digits in six games in a row even though he's not been very efficient. His outside shooting needs some work, as he's making just 30 percent of his treys, but that won't matter much as long as he keeps producing at this consistent rate.

Good to go vs. Monmouth Starling (leg) is available against Monmouth on Tuesday, per Mike Waters of Syracuse.com.

Impact Starling missed the last two games for the Orange after suffering a leg injury three minutes into the opener against Binghamton, but he's good to go for the fourth game of the year. The star guard is set to be a huge factor for Syracuse this season after he averaged 17.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists last season.

Not in uniform Starling (leg) is in sweats while Syracuse goes through pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's matchup with Drexel, Aiden Stepansky of the Daily Orange reports.

Impact Starling will miss a second straight game Saturday, as he continues to recover from a leg injury he sustained early in Syracuse's season opener. Kiyan Anthony jumped into the starting lineup in place of Starling and could remain in the first unit Saturday. Starling's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Monmouth.

Game-time decision Saturday Starling (leg) is a game-time decision for Saturday's contest at Drexel, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Starling, who suffered a leg injury early in the season opener, will have his status for Saturday decided shortly before tipoff. The senior has not had the chance to show much yet this season, but he averaged 17.8 points per game last season and expects to be one of the Orange's most important players this season when healthy.

Status in question Saturday Starling (lower body) is questionable to play in Saturday's contest against Drexel, per Aiden Stepansky of DailyOrange.com.

Impact Starling previously missed Syracuse's matchup against Delaware State last week due to a lower body injury, and it seems he could be held out once again Saturday. The 6-foot-4 guard played just three minutes in the Orange's season opener against Binghamton before going down with the injury. Following a season in which he averaged 17.8 points per game for the Orange last year, Starling was expected to be a superstar in upstate New York this season. He will hope to make his return Saturday, though if he is unable to go, his next chance will come against Monmouth on Tuesday.

Ruled out for Saturday Starling (lower body) is out for Saturday's game versus Delaware State, per the team.

Impact Starling suffered a lower body injury during the season opener on Monday and that injury will cost him Saturday's contest. Kiyan Anthony could see his first start as a result. Starling's next chance to play is next Saturday at Drexel.

Doesn't return Monday Starling (lower body) didn't return to Monday's game against Binghamton.

Impact Starling played only three minutes in the first half and didn't return. His status to face Delaware State on Saturday is uncertain, and the coming days will be decisive in determining whether he'll be able to suit up.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to return Starling is not expected to return to Monday's game against Binghamton due to a lower-body injury, Donna Ditota of The Post-Standard reports.

Impact Starling left the game earlier, and while his return status isn't confirmed, all signs point to him not returning. Starling left the game midway through the first half.

Leaves game with injury Starling (undisclosed) left Monday's game against Binghampton and was taken to the locker room, Mike Waters of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Starling exited the season opener in the first 10 minutes of the first half, and it's up in the air if he'll be able to return. The severity or details of the starting guard's injury remain unknown. His status will continue to be monitored.

Scores 16 points in loss Starling (leg) finished Wednesday's loss to SMU with 16 points (6-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, an assist and two steals across 33 minutes.

Impact Starling exited the game briefly to receive treatment on his leg, but he recovered and finished as one of Syracuse's best players, although that wasn't enough to get the win. Starling finishes the season with averages of 17.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game across 26 contests.

Exits game Wednesday Starling exited Wednesday's game against SMU due to an apparent leg injury, Mike Waters of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Starling exited the game during the first half and was seen doing some stretching due to an apparent leg injury. Missing him would be huge for Syracuse, as he's been one of the team's best players all season long. Starling supplied 27 points (12-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 66-62 win over Florida State.

Scores 27 points in win Starling supplied 27 points (12-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 66-62 win over Florida State.

Impact Starling notched his third-best scoring output of the season in this ACC Tournament opener, and he was impressive on both ends of the court to lead the Orange to a huge win. He'll face a tougher opponent in the second round, though, as Syracuse will face SMU on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Syracuse holds on to beat Florida State 66-62 in 1st round of ACC Tournament

Struggles from field Starling supplied 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Saturday's 101-95 OT loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact Starling's final stat line was decent, all things considered, but he had a rough showing from the field and had a few costly mistakes throughout the contest. That won't change his status of being one of Syracuse's most reliable offensive players, though, so he should remain a player worth keeping close tabs on in fantasy.
