Syracuse Men's Basketball: What We Know About Aiden Tobiason's Injury

Transfer guard Aiden Tobiason won't play on Monday night when the Syracuse Orange men's basketball team takes on Indiana in Indianapolis, but when exactly will we see him again?

We still don't know, but we do have a bit of an update courtesy of Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

On social media, Rothstein says that Tobiason is "progressing," but he adds that the guard still hasn't been through a full practice yet. While there's no definitive timetable, that at least leads us to believe that Tobiason is still a bit of time away from a return.

Syracuse next plays on Sunday against St. John's and then Nov. 18 vs. Cornell.

He strained his hamstring on Oct. 13 during the first exhibition game, a loss to the UConn Huskies. A starter in that game, Tobiason was injured before the first media timeout and we haven't seen him since.

As a freshman at Temple in 2024-25, Tobiason started 22 games while appearing in 27. He averaged 4.8 ppg before taking another step in 2025-26. He scored 15.3 ppg for the Owls while also averaging 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists. He shot 33.8 percent from 3-point range and is a 35.8 percent shooter from deep in his two years.

He has three years of eligibility left for the Orange and he will be a big part of what new head coach Gerry McNamara does once he gets on the floor.

His ability to stretch the floor will be most important, as right now Syracuse is counting on Mark Morano as the only true outside threat. If Syracuse is going to compete against high-major teams, they'll need more options from the perimeter.

The Orange have to be impressed in the early going by freshman point guard Ryan Moesch, who is coming off a six-point performance against Central Connecticut State. But it's more than just his scoring. Moesch is able to get downhill with the ball in his hands and is exceptional at handling the ball in the open court. His speed gives McNamara's team a different dynamic.

The Orange football team is now 4-5 on the season after a difficult home loss against Clemson on Saturday. The Orange need two wins in their final three games in order to earn bowl eligibility. SU last got to a bowl game in 2024 (Holiday Bowl).

Syracuse plays North Carolina State, Boston College and Notre Dame in the final three games.
