Southern Illinois Salukis vs. Memphis Tigers - News - November 26, 2025 | FOX Sports

Curtis Givens III - Held out Wednesday Givens (thigh) did not play during Wednesday's matchup against Southern Illinois, per Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Impact Givens was held out of Wednesday's contest due to a deep thigh bruise, marking his first missed game of the season. The 6-foot-3 guard suffered the injury during last week's matchup against Wake Forest and exited the game early. Givens will hope to make himself available for the Tigers' next matchup against New Orleans on Wednesday.

Julius Thedford - Scores 15 in win Thedford notched 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, one block and three steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 74-58 win over Southern Illinois.

Impact The Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak and Thedford fell one point shy of his season high. The 6-4 guard has been playing effective minutes off the bench and has grabbed at least five boards and hit two 3-pointers in the last four games. When he plays more than 20 minutes, he has scored in double digits twice. Look for Thedford to get more playing time on Wednesday against New Orleans.

Aaron Bradshaw - Scores 14 from bench Bradshaw had 14 points (2-4 FG, 10-10 FT), four rebounds and three steals over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 74-58 win over Southern Illinois.

Impact Bradshaw had started four of Memphis' previous five games, but foul trouble has limited his effectiveness. He had fouled out of the two previous games. The 7-1 junior was able to convert his free throws against the Salukis which bumped his usually meager offensive totals. He has excellent size, but will need to curb his aggressiveness a bit to be effective. The Tigers take on New Orleans on Wednesday.

Hasan Abdul Hakim - Logs 21 minutes in return Abdul Hakim (quadriceps) notched four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 74-58 victory over Southern Illinois.

Impact Abdul Hakim didn't have a massive stat line, but he did record 21 minutes off the bench in his first outing of the current season. That said, he's expected to hold a minimal role off the bench going forward, so the senior guard might not have a lot of fantasy upside in the near future.

Thierno Sylla - Active and starting Sylla (personal) is listed amongst Memphis' starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against Southern Illinois per Parth Upadhyaya of DailyMemphian.com.

Impact Sylla will make his return to action against the Salukis after missing the Tigers' last two games due to personal reasons. The 6-foot-11 senior transfer from Stephen F. Austin will look to make an impact in his return.
