Available vs. Long Beach State Byrd (abdomen) is available for Tuesday's game against Long Beach State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Since the year 2024, Byrd has missed only one game for San Diego State, and it will continue to be multiple DNPs out of the promising junior. He broke out during his 2024-25 campaign, which includes his 12.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.1 blocks per game. Byrd's room for improvement primarily lies in efficiency, considering he shot under 40.0 percent (38.1) from the field and 33.3 percent (30.1) from three-point range.

Doesn't play in exhibition game Byrd (abdomen) didn't play in Wednesday's exhibition game against San Diego.

Impact It's unclear if the Aztecs wanted to be extra cautious with Bryd ahead of this final exhibition game or if the star forward is not 100 percent healthy yet. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to suit up for the season opener against Idaho State on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Earns preseason MWC honors Byrd (abdomen) has been named the Mountain West Preseason Player of the Year, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Byrd is coming off a breakout junior season with the Aztecs, averaging 12.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 steals across 30 games with 30 starts. The 6-foot 6 wing now returns for a senior year to lead a San Diego State squad widely considered to be the class of the Mountain West. Thus, there's little to unpack with this one -- the best player on the conference's best team take home the preseason hardware. It's worth noting, however, that Byrd is still working his way back from an abdominal strain that's limited his workload in the preseason.

Limited with abdominal strain Byrd is limited as he works his way back from an abdominal strain, according to Bernie Wilson of SI.com.

Impact Ideally for Byrd, he can gradually increase his workload before San Diego State's regular-season opener Nov. 4 against Long Beach State. He will have a chance to acclimate, as the Aztecs will host San Diego on Oct. 29. 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.

Available vs. Gonzaga Byrd (foot) will be available for San Diego State's clash with Gonzaga, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

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.

Adds 10 points off the bench Byrd logged 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 68-63 loss to Utah State.

Impact Byrd was able to supply some much-needed scoring during Tuesday's loss, adding 10 points and finishing as San Diego State's third-leading scorer. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has seen inconsistent minutes throughout the year, but he could very well see more playing time if the Aztecs continue to struggle scoring the ball. Expect Byrd to try and help San Diego State get back on track as the team finishes its remaining Mountain West schedule.
