Could James Nnaji’s debut come when Baylor visits TCU?

All eyes will be on James Nnaji when Baylor travels to TCU to open Big 12 play on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Bears (10-2) created a stir when they signed Nnaji, the 31st overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, on Christmas Eve. Coach Scott Drew did not specify when Nnaji would be available but it could happen as early as this weekend.

"As soon as we get him all cleared, he's got to learn offensively, defensively," Drew said. "He can't play until he knows what he's doing out there.
