SDSU's 2024-25 season saw Byrd break out by averaging 12.3 points and 2.1 steals, two-way excellence that can grow with more experience under his belt this season.

Game-time decision Monday Byrd (foot) will be a game-time decision for San Diego State's matchup against Gonzaga on Monday, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Byrd is a game-time decision after missing the Aztecs' previous game against Occidental with a foot injury. The 6-foot-7 sophomore was seen in crutches and a protective boot prior to the tip on Tuesday, indicating that his injury could be fairly serious, though the possibility of his return on Monday is encouraging. Byrd has played in one game for the Aztecs this season in which he put together an elite all-around performance, logging 20 points, eight rebounds, three assists, five steals and four blocks. Senior guard Wayne McKinney stepped up in Byrd's absence and will likely see another expanded role against the Bulldogs should Byrd miss another game.
