Baylor announced that Adam Flagler (hand) is expected to be available for Wednesday’s game against Arizona in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in The Bahamas, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports. Flagler sat out Saturday in Baylor’s 86-48 win over Stanford with a left hand injury but his absence looks like it will last just one game. In three outings this season, Flagler is averaging 7.7 points, 2.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 17.7 minutes per contest.

Marcus Bagley (knee) didn’t travel to the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament beginning Wednesday versus Baylor, 247Sports.com reports. Bagley missed much of last season due to various leg injuries and has begun the 2021-22 campaign in a similar fashion, missing time after taking part in just the first three games. This time around, the knee is the problem for the sophomore, who will skip out on the Battle 4 Atlantis, making Dec. 1 against Washington State the next chance for him to suit up for the Sun Devils.
