Tyler Betsey - Early exit due to ankle injury Betsey (ankle) accumulated five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) across six minutes during Saturday's 80-50 victory over Drexel.

Impact Betsey was caught up in a collision and wound up rolling an ankle. He didn't return after sustaining the injury. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against Monmouth. If he's forced to miss time, Luke Fennell could step into a larger role.

J.J. Starling - Not in uniform Starling (leg) is in sweats while Syracuse goes through pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's matchup with Drexel, Aiden Stepansky of the Daily Orange reports.

Impact Starling will miss a second straight game Saturday, as he continues to recover from a leg injury he sustained early in Syracuse's season opener. Kiyan Anthony jumped into the starting lineup in place of Starling and could remain in the first unit Saturday. Starling's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Monmouth.

J.J. Starling - Game-time decision Saturday Starling (leg) is a game-time decision for Saturday's contest at Drexel, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Starling, who suffered a leg injury early in the season opener, will have his status for Saturday decided shortly before tipoff. The senior has not had the chance to show much yet this season, but he averaged 17.8 points per game last season and expects to be one of the Orange's most important players this season when healthy.

J.J. Starling - Status in question Saturday Starling (lower body) is questionable to play in Saturday's contest against Drexel, per Aiden Stepansky of DailyOrange.com.

Impact Starling previously missed Syracuse's matchup against Delaware State last week due to a lower body injury, and it seems he could be held out once again Saturday. The 6-foot-4 guard played just three minutes in the Orange's season opener against Binghamton before going down with the injury. Following a season in which he averaged 17.8 points per game for the Orange last year, Starling was expected to be a superstar in upstate New York this season. He will hope to make his return Saturday, though if he is unable to go, his next chance will come against Monmouth on Tuesday.

Kiyan Anthony, son of Carmelo, scores 19 points in first start for Syracuse

Donnie Freeman scored 20 points and freshman Kiyan Anthony added 19 in his first career start, leading Syracuse to an 83-43 victory over Delaware State

Naithan George - Yet to get things going George closed with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 25 minutes during Saturday's 83-43 victory over Delaware State...

Impact George averaged 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists as a sophomore for Georgia Tech in 2024-25. However, he hasn't been able to get things completely going with a new team. He's racked up 21 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and seven steals in his first two games with Syracuse.

Kiyan Anthony - Scores 19 efficient points Anthony finished Saturday's 83-43 win over Delaware State with 19 points (8-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes.

Impact Anthony, the son of former NBA legend Carmelo Anthony, couldn't have wished for a better performance in his first start of the campaign. A highly-touted prospect coming out of high school, this performance could make Anthony a regular starter for Syracuse in the coming weeks.

J.J. Starling - Ruled out for Saturday Starling (lower body) is out for Saturday's game versus Delaware State, per the team.

Impact Starling suffered a lower body injury during the season opener on Monday and that injury will cost him Saturday's contest. Kiyan Anthony could see his first start as a result. Starling's next chance to play is next Saturday at Drexel.

Donnie Freeman - Fills stat sheet Monday Freeman chipped in 20 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Monday's 85-47 victory over Binghamton.

Impact Freeman was one of the top performers for Syracuse in this comfortable season-opening win. Aside from delivering a strong shooting performance, Freeman also did a good job filling out the rest of the stat sheet and recorded at least one tally in each of the five major categories. Freeman averaged 13.4 points and 7.9 rebounds per game through 14 contests before sustaining a season-ending injury in 2024-25, and it seems he's aiming to pick things right where he left them off last season.
