Kyan Evans - Starting in regular-season opener Evans (hip) is part of the Golden Gophers' starting lineup for their regular-season opener Monday against North Dakota.

Impact While healthy, Evans is expected to be a fixture in the Golden Gophers' starting lineup, though how much of an impact he will make is to be determined. Two seasons ago, with Colorado State, he averaged 10.6 points and 3.1 assists across his 36 starts. The next season, while Evans was enrolled at North Carolina, he improved his distribution (3.4 assists per game across 17 starts) but struggled with scoring (5.9 points per game on 35.0/31.5/63.6 shooting splits).

Cade Tyson - Still awaiting eligibility, out Monday Tyson (not injury related) is still awaiting eligibility for the 2026-27 season and out for Monday's game against North Dakota, according to Andy Greder of the Twin Cities Pioneer...

Impact Like several seniors attempting to log a fifth year of collegiate eligibility, Tyson will have to wait for clearance by the NCAA, and he must sit out Minnesota's regular-season opener in the meantime. He broke out for last season's Golden Gophers, having averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers made across 32 starts for UMN. If the Gophers lack a comparable option to Tyson, they will want him available as soon as possible.
