LSU has been without one of its top transfer additions in recent outings, but it will be back closer to full strength as it hosts Northwestern State for the final non-conference matchup before SEC play begins in the new year.
Forward [autotag]Daimion Collins[/autotag] will make his return to the court after missing the last six games, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. A former five-star recruit who arrived this offseason from Kentucky, Collins is averaging 4.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in five games this season.
He’s been a rotational player and will likely resume that role, giving LSU some more depth on the interior with the 6-foot-9 player.

It’s one of several recent boosts the Tigers have gotten as transfer guard [autotag]Jalen Cook[/autotag] was finally given the green light to play as a two-time transfer ahead of a loss to Texas.
Now closer to full strength, LSU will hope to reverse its fortunes from last season in SEC play. First, it will take on the Demons at 7 p.m. CT on Friday night.
