Chance Westry transfers from Syracuse after limited play

Syracuse guard Chance Westry has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal. This means he is looking to leave the Syracuse basketball program after a challenging time. Westry only played in three games this season. The 6-foot-6 player announced his decision on social media. He was a highly-rated recruit in 2022 but faced several injuries during his college career. Westry started at Auburn, but a knee injury limited his playing time. He later transferred to Syracuse, where he injured his other knee and missed the entire 2023-24 season. This past year, Westry battled an undisclosed illness and missed the first six games. He played in three games for a total of 10 minutes but did not participate in games after December. He was listed as unavailable due to medical reasons for the rest of the season. Westry is the fourth Syracuse player to announce they will enter the transfer portal this year. Other players who have decided to leave the program include Kyle Cuffe, Chris Bell, and Elijah Moore. Some players still on the team include JJ Starling, Donnie Freeman, and Petar Majstorovic.
