JULY 25, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Scores 23 points in loss McCaffery closed with 23 points (7-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 81-77 loss to Nebraska.

Impact McCaffery hadn't played this well since he was a starter over the first 14 games of the season. Reproducing this performance might be difficult during the single-elimination format of March, but he could easily get the chance after an effort like he had Sunday.

Impact McCaffery was limited during his first game since Jan. 1. Despite his two turnovers against Rutgers, he almost scored 10 points and had no problems outside of his scoring. Sooner than later, McCaffery is expected to be part of Iowa's rotation more, like he was during 2022.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Game-time decision Thursday McCaffery (personal) is a game-time decision for Thursday's tilt with Michigan State, David Eickholt of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact McCaffery sat out each of Iowa's last five games after announcing earlier this month that he was taking an indefinite leave of absence to address anxiety, but he rejoined the team approximately two weeks later. Over the past week, McCaffery has been working to regain fitness following his time away from the team, with head coach Fran McCaffery noting that the junior forward is "doing better." Further clarity on whether McCaffery will be able to play Thursday may not be clear until the Hawkeyes begin warming up approximately 30 minutes before the 7 p.m ET tipoff.
