CINCINNATI — Great news for Cincinnati ahead of tomorrow's season opener. CBS Sports insider Jon Rothstein reported guard Day Day Thomas will be available for the Arkansas Pine-Bluff contest following a tweak to his surgically repaired foot.

It's unknown how much he'll play (if at all), but it's a great sign for Cincinnati that its full backcourt is healthy entering the season. They likely don't need him out there to beat a team ranked 355th out of 364 D1 teams on KenPom on Monday night. 

Thomas was a key player on both ends of the floor last season, averaging 10.4, points, 3.3 assists, and 1.7 steals per game.

Cincinnati's Day Day Thomas (foot) will be available for tomorrow's opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, but it's still TBD if he will play, per Wes Miller.

Averaged 10.4 PPG and 3.3 APG.
