Entering transfer portal Nickelberry will enter the transfer portal, Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers.com reports.

Impact Nickelberry will look for opportunities with a new program after a two-year stint with La Salle. The 6-foot-4 senior appeared in 34 games this season (19 starts), averaging 10.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 24.5 minutes per game. Nickelberry's efficiency from deep (40.1 percent on 5.8 attempts per game), is likely to draw the attention of numerous programs.

Scores 17 points Nickelberry supplied 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes during Saturday's 76-73 loss to Loyola Chicago.

Impact After averaging 18.7 points across his last three games of February, Nickelberry was rewarded with a place in La Salle's starting lineup Saturday. Now, the Explorers will play against Rhode Island on Tuesday to begin their 2023 Atlantic 10 Tournament run. With how well Nickelberry scored recently, he will be someone they depend on when it comes to their success in this upcoming tourney.

Shoots efficiently in blowout loss Nickelberry recorded 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 77-53 loss to Dayton.

Impact Nickelberry's 50-percent clip from the field was tied for his fourth-highest mark of the season. The senior guard also recorded his eighteenth game of the year in which he made multiple three-pointers, providing some consistency in a lost season for La Salle. The North Carolina native will look to continue shooting efficiently against Loyola-Chicago on Saturday.

Flashes all-around potential Nickelberry posted 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 77-71 loss to Massachusetts.

Impact Nickelberry continues to be a maddening fantasy asset. He's started the Explorers last two games, putting up a decent 13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in those outings, but he played only 44 total minutes off of the bench in the two games prior. The Louisville transfer remains La Salle's most talented player, and while it remains possible he finds consistency throughout February, Nickelberry looks like he's better off as a name to remember for next season in hopes he can take another step forward.

Returns to starting lineup Tuesday Nickelberry (undisclosed) will return to the Explorers lineup Tuesday, Chuckie Maggio of USA Today reports.

Impact La Salle gets their star guard back in the lineup after he did not play in the teams previous game. Nickelberry leads the Explorers in scoring this season, averaging 11.9 points per game.

JANUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Nickelberry (undisclosed) will not play in Saturday's game against VCU Wayne Epps Jr. of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Nickelberry is set to miss his first game of the season for the Explorers. The 6-foot-4 guard for La Salle has started 10 games this season, averaging 11.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.5 assists on 25.6 minutes per game. Nickelberry's next chance to return will be when the Explorers take on St. Bonaventure's on Tuesday.

Scoring binge haulted Nickelberry closed with three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one rebound across 23 minutes during Thursday's 69-61 loss to Fordham.

Impact Nickelberry had started every game to date prior to Thursday, and had scored 77 total points in his previous four outings. The new rotation didn't yield a win for the Explorers, so it's possible Nickelberry is back in the starting five Sunday at Rhode Island. He's done little more than score in his first season in Philadelphia, averaging 12.8 points and 2.9 rebounds to date.
