Ladji Dembele

ANALYSIS
Dembele has been working his way back from a foot injury suffered in the offseason, with his recovery spanning the course of the last two months. The 6-foot-8 forward's timeline was always expected to make his return for the start of the 2025-26 season questionable, so it doesn't appear he's suffered any setbacks. He averaged 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game with Iowa last season before heading to Las Vegas via the transfer portal in the offseason and is expected to be a solid contributor for the Rebels once he is able to make his return. His status will be worth monitoring as the season opener draws closer.
