Iowa State’s Killyan Toure underwent a successful surgery on his right shoulder and is expected to be ready to play in January

AUGUST 21 • Associated Press

Set to return in January Toure underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder and is expected to return to action in January, Iowa State hoops announced.

Impact Toure reportedly suffered a shoulder injury while participating in Damian Lillard's Elite Camp in Salt Lake City in late August. Now, the sophomore guard is slated to miss the first two months of the season for the Cyclones. This is a big blow in Ames, as Toure is a promising young guard who started every game his freshman year, averaging 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists ands 1.5 steals on 46/33/72 shooting splits. Iowa State is now down a starter for at least two months, and Ryan Prather could be poised for a bigger role in his stead.

Suffers shoulder injury Toure injured his shoulder while participating at Damian Lillard's elite camp in Salt Lake City and is expected to miss some time, per Travis Hines of The Des Moines Register.

Impact Toure averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists last season, starting all 37 games as a freshman. He's also an elite defender for the Cyclones; this could be a big loss if Toure is forced to miss a significant amount of time. Robert Morris transfer Ryan Prather could be in line for more minutes if Toure's injury carries over into the season.

Breakout candidate for 2026-27 Toure is a breakout candidate for Iowa State's 2026-27 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Iowa State's 2025-26 season includes a promising Toure, whose 37 starts then feature 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game. More than half of the campaign's primary starters either maximized their collegiate eligibility (Tamin Lipsey and Joshua Jefferson) or transferred colleges (Milan Momcilovic to Kentucky). Thus, a recently successful ISU has room for breakout student-athletes, including Toure. If the sophomore impresses, perhaps he can be among collegiate basketball's elite players.

Running it back in Ames Toure will return to Iowa State for his sophomore season, per Alec Busse of 247 Sports.

Impact Toure started all 37 games for Iowa State as a freshman, averaging 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals. The 6-foot-3 guard has committed to returning to the Cyclones for the 2026-27 season, a massive retention in Ames. Toure figures to hold down a starting spot once again next season.

Returns to court Friday Toure (undisclosed) returned to the court in Friday's game against Tennessee, according to Eugene Rapay of The Journal News.

Impact Toure's trip to the locker room was short, and he returned quickly to the court. He should continue handling his regular workload in the Cyclones' backcourt.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to locker room Toure headed to the locker room due to an undisclosed injury in Friday's game against Tennessee, according to Travis Hines of The Des Moines Register.

Impact This can't be a good sign for the Cyclones, as Toure is averaging 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his previous two NCAA Tournament appearances. If the freshman doesn't return, look for Jamarion Batemon and Nate Heise to see more minutes in the backcourt.

Steps up with career day Toure chipped in 25 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 108-74 victory over Tennessee State.

Impact Toure kicked off his first experience in the NCAA tournament with a career performance, setting new career highs with 25 points and 11 rebounds, eight of which came on the offensive end, while matching a career-best effort with six assists. The freshman wing shot an efficient 66.7-percent from both the floor and from the three-point arc during the winning effort. With the loss of Joshua Jefferson to a lower body injury and Tamin Lipsey spending much of the game on the bench due to foul trouble, Toure took full advantage of his extended opportunity. With Jefferson listed as doubtful for Sunday's second round, Toure will be relied upon to step up once again against a very dangerous Kentucky squad.

Bringing a lot to the table Toure totaled 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 95-61 victory over Kansas State.

Impact Toure produced his fourth-straight game in double figures while adding five boards, three assists and two steals as Iowa State cruised to another win. The freshman guard brings a lot to the table and has fit in as a perfect complimentary piece for the Cyclones. Toure has started all 22 games and has been playing his best basketball during their recent four-game winning streak, averaging 11.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 54.5-percent from the floor and 50.0-percent from long range across 25.3 minutes.

X-factor for undefeated Cyclones Toure registered 12 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 83-71 victory over Oklahoma State.

Impact Iowa State brought in a recruiting class featuring two four-star, top-100 recruits, but Toure has been the freshman who has earned the starting job at shooting guard and held on to it all year for the undefeated Cyclones. He was held scoreless in the conference opener against West Virginia, but now has a dozen points in back-to-back games, as well as a pair of steals in each. In a rotation that's heavily dependent on upperclassmen, Toure is steadily improving his dynasty value, provided he sticks around in Ames.
