No. 2 Michigan faces the No. 24 USC Trojans after Morez Johnson Jr. scored 24 points in Michigan's 112-71 victory over the McNeese Cowboys

Alijah Arenas - Unlikely to play in road trip Arenas (knee) isn't expected to play in USC's three-game road trip that begins Jan. 2, Ryan Kartje of Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact None other than head coach Eric Musselman revealed the news, meaning Arenas' debut with the Trojans will continue to be delayed, even if he's back in practice. Under these circumstances, his debut might come against Maryland on Jan. 13 once USC return home.

Ezra Ausar - Drops 15 as Trojans roll Ausar closed with 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 102-63 victory over California-Santa Cruz.

Impact Ausar continues to thrive at USC, as he's posting career-bests in nearly every category through 13 games. The forward scored an efficient 15 points on seven shots, and only played 16 minutes as the Trojans picked up an easy win over hapless UC-Santa Cruz. With conference play around the corner, he should be in for a full workload, starting with Jan. 2 against Michigan.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chad Baker-Mazara - Productive in rout Baker-Mazara contributed 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 102-63 win over California-Sa...

Impact Baker-Mazara continued what's easily been a career year Sunday as USC rolled over the hapless Banana Slugs. He's averaging an even 21.0 points, which is of course impressive, but he's been of value to the Trojans all over the court, and that continued as he pulled down seven boards and dished out five assists. The guard is also shooting a career-best 45.7 percent from the field and 90.2 percent from the charity stripe. Even as USC plays without some of its biggest stars, Baker-Mazara has been huge in helping it stay afloat.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gabe Dynes - Leading scorer as Trojans win Dynes notched 16 points (8-10 FG), five rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 22 minutes during Sunday's 102-63 win over California-Santa Cruz.

Impact Dynes had hardly been involved prior to Sunday against UC-Santa Cruz, averaging just 2.2 points across 8.1 minutes. The junior got his first career start in a USC uniform, however, and played very well. He was highly efficient from the field (80 percent) and was valuable as a defender with four swatted shots. It was only UC-Santa Cruz, but Dynes should continue to see his role increase if he can stack performances like this.

Kam Woods - Scoreless in season debut Woods (not injury related) notched zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals over 22 minutes during Sunday's 102-63 win over California-Sant...

Impact Woods made his season debut for USC against Santa Clara after joining the team last week. Though he was held scoreless on five shot attempts on the day, he managed to make an impact for the Trojans with six boards and six assists to go along with three steals. His usage will likely see an uptick moving forward as he eases into the USC rotation, with his next opportunity coming against Michigan in the new year.

Alijah Arenas returns to practice with USC after car crash and knee injury

Alijah Arenas has practiced for the first time with Southern California's basketball team as he continues recovering from a knee injury he sustained last summer

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • Associated Press

Kam Woods - Joining Trojans Woods has been added to the USC roster for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, per Joe Tipton of On3.com.

Impact Woods will join the Trojans following a single year with Robert Morris. The 6-foot-2 senior entered the transfer portal in March searching for his sixth school in as many seasons. Woods averaged 14.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game with Robert Morris last season and will look to make the jump to high-major ball in the Big Ten. It's thus far unclear how quickly he will be able to get things up and running for the Trojans, but his next opportunity to suit up will come against UC-Santa Clara on Sunday.

Ausar with 22, Baker-Mazara with 20 power USC in 97-70 victory over UTSA

Rodney Rice - Expected to miss rest of 2025-26 Rice (shoulder) is expected to miss the rest of the 2025-26 campaign, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Rice has missed the past five games for the Trojans, and while this is a devastating blow for USC, the writing was on the wall when it was announced there was no timeframe for a possible return. Rice was in the midst of a career year, averaging 20.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists. He'll look to secure a medical redshirt for the 2025-2026 season and look towards next year.

USC plays the UTSA Roadrunners after Jacob Cofie scored 21 points in USC's 68-61 win over the Washington State Cougars

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • Associated Press

Rodney Rice - No timetable for return Rice (shoulder) does not have a timetable for return, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Rice has been sidelined since Nov. 25 due to a shoulder injury, and he isn't close to making his return to the hardwood. USC has two games left this month -- Wednesday against UTSA and Sunday against Brown -- making a January return likely the earliest possibility. Rice's absence has left more minutes for Jerry Easter and Jordan Marsh.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alijah Arenas - Will return to practice this week Arenas (knee) will return to practice the week of Dec. 15 and is still aiming for a mid-January return, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Arenas, a five-star true freshman for the Trojans, has yet to play this season but remains on track for a mid-January return, according to head coach Eric Musselman. That remains consistent with what Musselman said in early December, so it appears Arenas' recovery is still going as expected. He should provide an immediate boost for USC whenever he does manage to get on the court.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Cofie - Big double-double in win Cofie chipped in 21 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 68-61 win over Washington State.

Impact Cofie notched his third double-double of the season and his first since Nov. 9. The forward played extremely well on offense, scoring 21 points on 12 shots while connecting on 75 percent of his attempts from the field. This was a good bounce-back outing for Cofie after he totaled six points across his last two games. Cofie has been largely boom-or-bust this season, but he'll look to build off this performance against UTSA on Wednesday, Dec. 17.
