Magoon Gwath - Not ready to return Gwath (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against Idaho State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Gwath was fully cleared for contact a few days ago, but San Diego State will hold the seven-footer out of Sunday's matchup against Idaho State. He's recovering from an offseason knee surgery. Gwath's next chance to play will come Nov. 18 against Troy. In the meantime, Miles Heide, Pharaoh Compton and Tae Simmons should see more minutes.

Magoon Gwath - Fully cleared for contact Gwath (knee) is fully cleared for contact, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Now that Gwath is fully cleared, perhaps San Diego State's next game includes him. Still scheduled for Sunday against Idaho State, perhaps he can prevent consecutive DNPs. SDSU's team has fed off Gwath's two-way excellence, last season backed up with 8.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks per game and the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Reese Dixon-Waters - Out with eye injury Dixon-Waters won't play in Tuesday's game against Long Beach State due to a corneal abrasion.

Impact Dixon-Waters missed the entire 2024-25 season with a foot injury, but after returning to practice in August, he seemed ready to start the 2025-26 campaign healthy. However, he's suffered an eye injury and won't be available Tuesday. His next chance to play will come Sunday against Idaho State.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Magoon Gwath - Targeting Thursday return Gwath remains on track to be fully cleared Thursday for full-contact practice, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Gwath will be sidelined for the Aztecs' season opener against Long Beach State, but he should be able to return to practice this week. The 7-foot returning starter will now target a healthy status for Sunday's game against Idaho State. He averaged 8.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 24.9 minutes across 26 appearances in 2024-25

Magoon Gwath - On track for opener Gwath (knee) is on track to be available for Tuesday's opener versus Long Beach State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Gwath, who had knee surgery in the offseason, is set to be available for Tuesday's opener. He will likely start at center for the Aztecs once he's fully healthy.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Miles Byrd - 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.

Miles Byrd - 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.

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremiah Oden - Six points in exhibition Oden (undisclosed) tallied six points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in San Diego State's 60-67 loss to UCLA in exhibition action.

Impact Oden played over 24 minutes of game time but wasn't all that aggressive, attempting just four shots. The 6-foot-8 forward did drain his only three point attempt, which is a great sign after he shot just 31.3 percent from distance a season ago. It's also simply great to see Oden back on the court after he missed the entirety of the 2024-2025 campaign.

Magoon Gwath - Not cleared to return Gwath (knee) has not been cleared to return for basketball activities and isn't expected to be cleared until early November, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Gwath previously underwent knee surgery in the offseason and appears to still be working his way through recovery. With the news of his timeline exrension, the 7-foot big man will not be ready for the start of the 2025-26 season and will miss some time before making his return to action. With his new timeline indicating he will be cleared for basketball activities on November 6, his earliest chance to return would be November 9 against Idaho State, but a home game against Troy on November 18 likely serves as a more realistic target.

Miles Byrd - 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.

Miles Byrd - 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.

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Magoon Gwath - Still recovering from knee surgery Gwath (knee) is still recovering from surgery, according to Bernie Wilson of SI.com.

Impact In the same month that it was announced that Gwath would re-enroll at San Diego State, he underwent knee surgery that is still affecting him nearly half a year after the procedure. San Diego State's team will log one more exhibition, Oct. 29 against San Diego, before beginning regular-season action Nov. 4 against Long Beach State. An above-average offensive contributor and an excellent defensive contributor, Gwath helps SDSU remain a top contender in the Mountain West with his availability.

During 2023-24, he averaged 9.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists across 25.6 minutes per game, helping the Aztecs reach the Sweet 16. His return strengthens SDSU's rotation as they look to remain contenders in the Mountain West.
