Enters transfer portal McCaffery entered the NCAA's transfer portal Wednesday, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact McCaffery is one of few players with a year of collegiate eligibility remaining despite participating in each of the NCAA's last five seasons. This is because he redshirted his 2019-20 season, and any players of the NCAA's 2020-21 season received an extra year of collegiate eligibility because COVID-19 limited that campaign. Still, McCaffery's portal entry comes off as surprising, considering his father Fran is still Iowa's head coach.

The 6-foot-9 senior appeared in 31 games this season (15 starts), averaging 8.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 23 minutes per game.

Appears against Michigan McCaffery (ankle) closed Saturday's 88-78 win over Michigan with four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes.

Impact McCaffrey (ankle) was able to suit up against the Wolverines, closing with four points, one assist, one rebound and a steal in the victory. The 6-foot-9 senior has dealt with a lingering ankle issue that has forced him to miss three of Iowa's last six games. McCaffrey's status on Iowa's availability reports remains crucial moving forward in case the senior forward suffers any setbacks.

Questionable vs. Purdue McCaffery (ankle) is questionable for Iowa's game Saturday against Purdue, according to Tyler Tachman of The Des Moines Register.

Impact According to Iowa's head coach Fran McCaffery, the redshirt senior has a "50-50" chance of being available Saturday. Thus, the elder McCaffery's description fits a questionable tag for his injured veteran. There may not be a bigger regular-season time for Iowa's team to need the injured McCaffery, as it is scheduled to host No. 2 Purdue, sporting college basketball's reigning Naismith College Player of the Year Zach Edey.

JANUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out at Minnesota McCaffery (ankle) is out for the Iowa Hawkeyes' game Monday at Minnesota, according to their X account.

Impact Unfortunately for McCaffery, he will have sat out two of Iowa's last three games for varying reasons. The last time he sat out, the Hawkeyes added Josh Dix to their starting lineup. After playing at Minnesota, they are expected to host Purdue on Saturday.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Clear of injury report McCaffery (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game versus Nebraska, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact McCaffery appears set to rejoin the mix after sitting just one game due to illness. Josh Dix drew the start in his place last time out, supplying seven points, four boards, four assists and a steal over 26 minutes, but McCaffery seems likely to retake his spot in the starting unit Friday.

JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be available Friday McCaffery (illness) is expected to be available during Iowa's game Friday against Nebraska, per Tyler Tachman of The Des Moines Register.

Impact According to McCaffery's father and Iowa's head coach Fran, his son may not be feeling great but is doing much better than before. The younger McCaffery will go over some tasks Wednesday that should prepare him for Iowa's game Friday. But being expected to play is not something 100 percent etched in stone, so the Big Ten Conference's updated injury report should give a better indication of his availability then.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Held in check Thursday McCaffery recorded two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and three rebounds across 24 minutes during Thursday's 79-67 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact McCaffrey was limited to just 1-of-7 from the field as the Hawkeyes were defeated by the Sooners. The 6-foot-9 senior has been a variable fantasy option this season, showcasing his ability to produce high-scoring outings, but disappointing managers with tough nights from range. McCaffrey and the Hawkeyes will look to get back on track against Seton Hall this Friday evening.
