Baylor will hit the court one last time before the new year. The Bears are set to take on Arlington Baptist for a Monday afternoon game, and Scott Drew will have a new player to put onto the court. Former NBA Draft pick, James Nnaji, is expected to make his Baylor debut on Monday.

The former 31st overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft should see some action on the court, but to what capacity is not yet determined.

What we do know is that Baylor is a massive favorite and both Cameron Carr and Tounde Yessoufou have a chance to keep rolling right along as Big 12 play is quickly approaching.
