Kiyan Anthony won’t play for Syracuse basketball against Pittsburgh due to injury Syracuse University’s men’s basketball team will be without freshman forward Kiyan Anthony for its final regular-season game against Pittsburgh, as he was ruled out due to a lower-body injury. The decision was announced by SU men’s basketball director of communications Pete Moore, who cited the ACC availability report released on Friday night. Anthony, who suffered the injury during the Orange’s most recent game against Louisville, is expected to miss Saturday’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Panthers. The injury occurred during the Orange’s loss to Louisville, though the exact timing of when Anthony sustained the injury remains unclear. Anthony played 19 minutes in that game, contributing four points. His absence leaves Syracuse without one of its key contributors, as the team prepares for its final regular-season contest. Syracuse may also be without another promising freshman, Sadiq White Jr., due to a left shoulder injury. White sustained the injury while attempting to grab a rebound against Louisville, though he was able to return to the game. Despite the setback, White finished the contest with eight points and four rebounds in 17 minutes, showcasing his potential. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, will also be missing several players for Saturday’s game. The Panthers’ biggest absence will be Brandin Cummings, who scored a game-high 29 points in their previous matchup against Syracuse. Cummings, who averages 12.5 points per game, has not played since late January due to a season-ending ankle injury. The Panthers’ roster will also be without other key players, though all have been sidelined for over a month.#syracuse_university #kiyan_anthony #pittsburgh_panthers #pete_moore #brandin_cummings
