Starting Wednesday Dort is included in the starting rotation for Wednesday's game against SMU.

Impact Dort is included in the starting unit in place of Mady Sissoko (undisclosed) who will miss this matchup. The junior forward has totaled 17.0 points and 14.0 assists across his last three outings.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Commendable rebounding season Dort is averaging a career-best 6.8 rebounds per contest through 10 games to start the 2024-25 season with Cal.

Impact Dort has settled in as the backup center to Mady Sissoko in his first since at Cal since transferring from Vanderbilt, and the results have been promising so far. He's always been a solid rebounder on a per-minute basis, so it's no surprise to see his activity on the glass shoot up now that he's essentially doubled his playing time. Still, his role as a backup likely limits his fantasy value to ACC-only formats.
