Tallies an efficient 24 points Lipsey contributed 24 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 70-60 victory over Baylor.

Impact Lipsey had his most efficient offensive performance of the season, connecting on 8-of-12 from the field and 2-of-3 from beyond the arc to lead the way with 24 points. It was the third time this season Lipsey topped 20 points, making up for his season-low assist total. The senior point man has been excelling as a ball distributor in his previous six games since returning from a three-game absence due to a groin injury, dishing out 6.5 dimes per game during that six-game stretch while averaging a pedestrian 10.3 points. However, Lipsey reminded us Wednesday that he's still a more-than-capable scorer when needed.

Dishes out seven, swipes five Lipsey finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and five steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 78-53 win over Eastern Illinois.

Impact Lipsey failed to reach double figures in scoring for the second time in three games but remained effective, dishing out seven dimes and swiping five on the defensive end as the Cyclones cruised to the easy win. The senior playmaker averaged 18.4 points prior to missing three games with a groin injury but hasn't been as effective in the scoring column since returning to the lineup. However, he continues to help out in other areas, recording five or more assists for the sixth time in eight games while compiling at least four steals for the fourth time.

Playing at Purdue Lipsey (groin) will play in Saturday's game at Purdue, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Lipsey will make his return to the court after a three-game absence as the Cyclones take on the Boilermakers. The senior guard averaged 18.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 steals, 1.6 three-pointers and 0.5 turnovers on 31 minutes per game across five games so far this campaign. He'll need to be on his best game if Iowa State hopes to beat the No. 1 team in the nation.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision at Purdue Lipsey (groin) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Purdue, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Lipsey has been sidelined for the Cyclones' last three games after suffering a groin injury versus St. John's on Nov. 24. The starting point guard's status will now be determined closer to tip-off against the Boilermakers, but it should be clearer based on whether he's warming up before the big showing. He's averaged 18.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 steals, 1.6 three-pointers and 0.5 turnovers on 31 minutes per game across five games so far this campaign.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will be re-evaluated twice Lipsey (groin) will be re-evaluated Friday and Saturday, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Lipsey participated in Iowa State's latest practice Friday, but his participation was not enough to warrant clearance for the ISU-Purdue game Saturday. Thus, ISU's coaching staff will re-evaluate him both Friday and Saturday to see if they can get him ready to face the AP Poll's No. 1 team. For five games this season, his statistical rates include 18.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 steals, 1.6 three-pointers made and 0.5 turnovers with 50.7/33.3/77.8 shooting splits. Lipsey has easily been one of college basketball's best players, so having him available should boost ISU's chances of defeating Purdue.

Not warming up Lipsey (groin) isn't participating in warmups and appears slated to miss another game Wednesday night, per Eugene Rapay of The Journal News.

Impact Lipsey looks set to miss his third straight game as the Cyclones take on Alcorn State at home. The starting point guard is off to an excellent start this season, averaging 18.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists, but Nate Heise will likely start once again in his stead.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Wednesday Lipsey (groin) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game Alcorn State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Iowa State will push Lipsey's availability for at least a few more hours as the team prepares for Alcorn State. Though the Cyclones' upcoming opponent may be easily defeated without him, they provide him a tune-up before their big clash with Purdue on Saturday. In his absence, Nate Heise has started, and that is expected to remain under a Lipsey absence and despite the former recently struggling against Syracuse in Las Vegas.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Day-to-day, will be evaluated Iowa State's head coach T.J. Otzelberger recently announced that Lipsey (groin) is day-to-day and will be evaluated Tuesday afternoon, Cyclone Fanatic reports.

Impact Lipsey's latest update indicates that he may not be out for multiple games. "He's [Lipsey is] trending in the right direction," Otzelberger recently announced. "I don't know what that means. We don't want him to feel any pressure to play." The announcement indicates that while questionable, Lipsey may be available for Wednesday's game against Alcorn State.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could miss multiple more games Head coach TJ Otzelberger said Wednesday that Iowa State could hold Lipsey out of the next couple of games to make sure Lipsey is 100 percent before returning, Jeff Goodman of TheF...

Impact Otzelberger said the move is out of caution, and that the Cyclones want to be sure their star guard is fully recovered before pushing him back into game action. Lipsey dealt with a groin injury for parts of the 2024-25 season, though it's unclear if the two injuries are to the same groin. Iowa State's next chance to play is Dec. 3 against Alcorn State. After that, they face Purdue on Dec. 6 and Iowa on Dec. 11. If Lipsey can't suit up for any of the three contests, Nate Hiese and Jamarion Batemon could handle more minutes.

Not participating in warmups Lipsey (groin) isn't participating in pregame warmups ahead of Wednesday's game against Syracuse, Eugene Rapay of The Journal News reports.

Impact Lipsey suffered a groin injury in Iowa State's first game at the Players Era Festival, and it looks like the star guard will miss Wednesday's tournament finale. Lipsey's next chance to play will come Dec. 3 against Alcorn State. Nate Heise will likely draw the start in Lipsey's place.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Wednesday Lipsey (groin) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Syracuse at Las Vegas, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact For a second straight game in Las Vegas, Iowa State will push Lipsey's injury status until the start of the team's upcoming game. The last time he was a game-time decision came in the same Players Era Festival tournament that the Cyclones are still partaking in. The GTD came against Creighton, and Lipsey did not start, with his team opting to rest him and start Nate Heise instead. Heise responded strongly by logging six assists, five rebounds and three steals.

Remains day-to-day Lipsey (groin) is day-to-day after sitting out Iowa State's win over Creighton on Tuesday, per Eugene Rapay of The Journal News.

Impact Lipsey's groin injury apparently isn't all that severe, as the decision to sit him against the Bluejays reportedly wasn't made until Tuesday morning. He remains firmly questionable as he works through his ailment, but it's an overall positive update for the point guard. He'll look to return Wednesday in game three of the Players Era Festival.
