Xavier
Goodman: Xavier big man Zach Freemantle, who missed the last 15 games last season due to foot injury, is likely to be out until at last January and could miss the entire season, source told @TheMessenger.
Freemantle’s foot hasn’t progressed since the surgery and is likely to have another surgery on his left foot. It's the same foot that required surgery before the start of the 2021-22 season.
Freemantle averaged 15.2 points and 8.1 rebounds last season prior to the surgery.

TSN: Ranking best players in Team USA vs Canada: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Anthony Edwards headline bronze medal game
“2. Anthony Edwards, Team USA
Edwards has proved during the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup that his time is now. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft has emerged as the superstar he was projected to be, leading Team USA with 18.1 points per game.
His 35 points in the United States' loss to Lithuania was tied for the third-highest-scoring performance of the tournament. If not for a quiet game in a blowout win over Italy where he only scored three points, Edwards would be among the highest scorers in the tournament.
Edwards' shot-making prowess has made him the go-to guy on this Team USA roster.”

History
“Stan “Whitey” Von Nieda died Thursday at age 101 in Elizabethtown, Pa.
Not only was Von Nieda the oldest living former NBA player, he also was the only one ever to reach 100. He received a certificate verifying that on June 19, 2022, the date he reached age 100, from the National Basketball Retired Players Association.
Von Nieda, a 6-foot-1 swingman, broke in with the NBL Tri-Cities Blackhawks in 1947 and was a member of the NBL’s All-Rookie team.
After his second pro season, Von Nieda logged his one “official” NBA season — the NBL and BAA merged in August 1949 — with Tri-Cities and Baltimore. He averaged 5.3 points and 2.4 assists per game in 59 games before an eye injury in January 1950 ended his basketball career.
“I could play either (guard or forward),” Von Nieda was quoted in Lancaster (Pa.) Online’s obituary. “Sometimes I’d take my man down inside and hook it over him.”
On Oct. 29, 1949, Von Nieda scored 14 points in the inaugural post-merger NBA game pitting Tri-Cities vs. Denver.
Von Nieda’s coach with Tri-Cities? Red Auerbach. The Tri-Cities franchise has operated uninterrupted, relocating to become the Milwaukee, St. Louis and eventually Atlanta Hawks. Interestingly, Von Nieda’s nickname was shared by his uncle, Harry Von Nieda.
Why had the native of Ephrata, Pa., been a 25-year-old rookie? After his freshman year at Penn State, Von Nieda enlisted in the Army and became a paratrooper during and after World War II. He parachuted behind German lines during the Battle of the Bulge.
Back home after his NBL/NBA stint, Von Nieda coached three seasons at Elizabethtown College in Lancaster County. He later had a career in advertising sales and worked as a bartender.
He and his first wife, the late Dorothy, raised six children. Von Nieda reportedly continued to play basketball, semi-pro and recreationally, into his 60s.
Von Nieda’s widow, Arlene, told Lancaster Online on Thursday many social occasions in which people would ask, “Is that Whitey Von Nieda? I saw him play years ago … he was great.”
