Tamin Lipsey - College Basketball News & Rumors

Expected to be cleared soon Lipsey (knee) is expected to be cleared before Iowa State's game Nov. 3 against Fairleigh-Dickinson, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Rothstein's update indicates that Lipsey is looking more probable than questionable as he and Iowa State prepare for their 2025-26 season. Considering how much credibility the Cyclones have established with him manning their point guard position, Rothstein's announcement is a big deal. Lipsey is coming off back-to-back seasons with at least 30 starts, double-digit points per game and multiple steals per game. For many players, the numbers are excellent, but they are a minimal expectation for a talented player like Lipsey.
