Impact Rice suffered a shoulder injury Tuesday afternoon and was considered a game-time call for Wednesday's contest.

Game-time decision Rice (shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Arizona State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Rice missed almost the entire second half of Tuesday's win over Seton Hall, and he's at risk of missing Wednesday's contest as well. The junior guard may need to test the shoulder during pregame warmups before a decision is made regarding his availability. Amarion Dickerson saw an uptick in minutes while Rice was out Tuesday.

Impact Rice wasn't all that efficient as a scorer, but every last one of his 26 points were crucial as the Trojans narrowly avoided a brutal buy game upset against Troy. The guard was also surgical as a facilitator with nine assists, his fingerprints all over the USC offense. He'll look for another big game against Boise State on Nov. 24.

Rice is a big-time player that should be a force throughout the season in the Big Ten. Next up is Manhattan on Sunday.

Starting in season-opener Rice (shoulder) is included in the starting rotation for Monday's game against Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Rice was questionable to play as he continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury that he suffered in September. The junior guard now seems ready to go and will aim to make an impact with his new team.

Expected to play Monday Rice (shoulder) is expected to play in Monday's game against Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Rice's injury status has upgraded from questionable to probable, a positive trend that indicates USC will use him Monday. If available, the guard will look to replicate what he did last season. It saw Maryland's latest team begin a three-game stretch with Rice averaging 16.7 points and 2.3 three-pointers made while shooting 56.3 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from deep, a strong run.

May be questionable for opener Rice (shoulder) is expected to be cleared for contact work this weekend, which would make him questionable for Monday's game against Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, per Jon Rothstein of...
Impact Once the weekend gets underway, it will be a matter of whether or not Rice can log contact work that gets him prepared for USC's 2025-26 season. If so, Rice gets a questionable tag for the regular-season opener, which at least means he may be available then. For the Trojans, Rice is a proven scorer from fellow Big Ten member Maryland, with MD's 2024-25 season including his 13.8 points and 2.2 three-pointers made per game on 43.4/37.4/81.4 shooting splits. So if USC can get an available Rice come Monday, the team likely will have far fewer concerns at guard, which became apparent after Alijah Arenas (knee) suffered a long-term injury.
