Impact The Orange had one of their most well-rounded offensive games in the entire season, and George played a significant role in that outcome. The star guard has been trending in the right direction after a slow start to the season. He's posted back-to-back games with 22 points while scoring in double digits in four of his last five.

Donnie Freeman - Expected back for ACC play Freeman (foot) is expected to make his return to action for ACC ball, Mike Waters of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Freeman continues to rehab from a foot injury suffered earlier this season, will continue to warmup prior to games, but he is not expected to return until conference play. The 6-foot-9 sophomore who posted 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 blocks across Syracuse's first game, will target a return date against Clemson on Dec. 31.

Donnie Freeman - Will warmup, still likely inactive Freeman (foot) will dress and warm up for Saturday's game against Northeastern but is unlikely to play, Inside The Loud House reports.

Impact Syracuse head coach Adrian Autry said Freeman would be back on the court soon, but it appears he'll delay his return by at least one more game. If the sophomore forward moves forward with being inactive against the Huskies, his next chance to play will be this upcoming Monday versus Stonehill. Freeman averaged 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists before his absence.

Donnie Freeman - Expected back "fairly soon" Freeman (foot) is expected to return to action "fairly soon," according to head coach Adrian Autry, Justin Girshon of The Daily Orange reports.

Impact Freeman has missed the last seven games for the Orange, but it's clear there's optimism within the Syracuse program that he'll be available soon. As for a specific timeline, that's still off the table, but whenever the forward does return, he'll provide a big boost - Freeman averaged 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists before his absence.

Donnie Freeman - Doesn't play Wednesday Freeman (foot) didn't play in Wednesday's win over Mercyhurst.

Impact Freeman has been battling a nagging foot injury, and while he's on the right track in his recovery process, he wasn't ready to suit up Wednesday. The extra off days could do wonders for him, and his next chance to play will come Saturday at home against Northeastern.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sadiq White Jr. - Sniffs double-double White notched 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and nine rebounds in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 76-62 victory over Mercyhurst.

Impact White kept his place in the Orange's starting lineup due to the absence of Donnie Freeman, and he responded by ending just one board away from a double-double. White has been playing well in recent weeks and has scored in double digits in four of his last five outings.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Donnie Freeman - Unlikely to play Wednesday Freeman (foot) will warm up before Wednesday's game against Mercychust but is unlikely to play, Steve Infanti of NewsChannel 9 reports.

Impact Freeman was tipped a game-time call for this matchup, and while his presence in warm-ups is a good sign, he's still not 100 percent ready to play. It wouldn't be surprising if he sat out this contest, and if so, his next chance to play would come Saturday against Northwestern.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Donnie Freeman - Game-time decision again Freeman (foot) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Mercyhurst, according to Daniel Herzog of WAER.

Impact As a game-time decision Thursday, Freeman did not play when Syracuse and St. Joseph's logged their game. Without him able to be part of SU's starting frontcourt, the Orange once again used Sadiq White. Freeman's 2025-26 season includes 17.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.

Kiyan Anthony - Puts up 12 points Saturday Anthony totaled 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 70-69 loss to Hofstra.

Impact Anthony scored 19 and 18 points in his two starts back in early November against Delaware State and Drexel, respectively, but he hasn't returned to the first unit since then. The freshman has proven to be a capable scorer at the college level, but he won't carry a lot of upside if he continues to play off the bench.
