Kansas State guard Abdi Bashir Jr. plans to enter NCAA transfer portal
Kansas State guard Abdi Bashir Jr. plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress. Bashir was the Wildcats’ second-leading scorer during the 2025-26 season.
He averaged 13. 2 points per game, though, he only played in 18 games this season due to injury. He was a sharp-shooter from deep, logging 44.
4% from the 3-point line this season. However, he hasn’t suited up since the middle of January after undergoing successful surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot. Former head coach Jerome Tang said that he’d miss 4-6 weeks but was unable to find his way back on the court before the season ended.
A junior, he spent one season in Manahttan after playing his first two seasons of college basketball for Monmouth. The Omaha, NE native scored 20. 6 points per game during his sophomore season.
Bashir did have to take a back seat to the scoring prowess of PJ Haggerty (23. 4 ppg) at Kansas State, which altered the way he was used at his previous stop. Instead of being the primary ball-handler, Bashir was used as a 3-point specialist.
