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.

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.

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.

Rodney Rice - Ruled out again Rice (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus Washington State, per Connor Morrissette of USCFootball.com.

Impact Rice continues to deal with a shoulder injury and is now set to miss his fifth straight games. Jerry Easter and Jordan Marsh should see increased usage in his absence. Rice will aim to make his return during Wednesday's matchup versus UT San Antonio.
