Kanye Clary injury update: Mississippi State basketball guard out for the season
(This story was updated to add new information.)
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State basketball guard Kanye Clary is out for the season, coach Chris Jans announced on the “Dawg Talk” radio show on Tuesday night.
Clary, a Penn State transfer, has been out since Nov. 29 due to a lower-leg injury. The Bulldogs said he was out indefinitely after he missed the Dec. 4 win against Pittsburgh.
“I got an update on Kanye Clary and unfortunately he’s missed a significant amount of time due to an injury, and this injury will not allow Kanye to return to the court this season for us,” Jans said.
No. 13 MSU (16-4, 4-3 SEC) hosts No. 4 Alabama (17-3, 6-1) at Humphrey Coliseum on Wednesday.
Kanye Clary injury update
Mississippi State landed Clary in the transfer portal, and he was viewed as one of MSU’s most important additions. He scored 16.7 points per game last season at Penn State with 20 starts before being dismissed from the team.
Clary, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound junior, was only able to play in seven games with four starts before his injury. He last played Nov. 29 in a loss to Butler in the Arizona Tipoff. Clary has sat on the bench during MSU’s games, including road ones, though he hasn’t been dressing in uniform.
Who replaces Kanye Clary in Mississippi State lineup?
The Bulldogs have played 13 games without Clary, so not much will change with the rotation.
Boston College transfer Claudell Harris Jr. has started 10 consecutive games, splitting point guard duties with Josh Hubbard. Riley Kugel, who averages 10.6 points per game, has played more since Clary’s injury and has solidified himself as one of MSU’s best scorers off the bench. Freshman Dellquan Warren has also played sparingly since Clary’s injury.
Kanye Clary stats
Clary averaged 6.3 points, 2.6 assists and 1.3 rebounds per game this season.
He scored in double figures twice with 12 points against Southeastern Louisiana and 11 points against Goergia State but also had two scoreless games. Clary particularly struggled to shoot in the small sample size, recording a 36.8% field-goal percentage and 20.0% 3-point percentage, both career lows.

Mississippi Democrats Break Republican Senate Supermajority, Flipping 3 Legislative Seats
After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Voters elected Democrats to two seats previously held by Republicans, reducing the number of Republican senators in the upper chamber from 36 to 34—one fewer than necessary to constitute a supermajority.
“Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the Mississippi Democratic Party wrote in social media posts Tuesday night. “From the Delta to the Pine Belt, voters stood up for fair leadership and community progress: Better schools. Fairer representation. Expanded healthcare. Good-paying jobs.”
When a party has supermajority status in the Mississippi Senate, it can more easily override a governor’s veto, propose constitutional amendments and execute certain procedural actions.
In the Mississippi Pine Belt region, Democrat Johnny DuPree won Senate District 45, previously held by Republican Sen. Chris Johnson of Hattiesburg. In North Mississippi, Democrat Theresa Gillespie Isom won the Senate District 2 seat held by Republican Sen. David Parker of Olive Branch, who decided not to run for reelection.
Republicans had held a supermajority in the Senate since sweeping the state government in 2011.
In the House, Democrat Justin Crosby also flipped House District 22, defeating incumbent Republican House Rep. Jon Lancaster. That district includes parts of Chickasaw, Clay and Monroe counties.

The victories followed Tuesday’s special legislative elections. Six Senate seats were up for a special election on Tuesday, along with one House seat, because a federal court ordered the State to create more Black-majority legislative districts earlier this year. Two other Senate districts were up for special elections to fill vacated seats, along with a House seat.
Democrats will likely hold 18 Senate seats when the Legislature returns to session in January 2026.

Inaugural Michelin Guide American South honors 10 MS restaurants. See which made the list

In the inaugural Michelin Guide American South, Mississippi restaurants from the northern corners to the coast were recognized, with two winning the prestigious Bib Gourmand distinction and another eight making Michelin’s “recommended restaurants” list.
Michelin Guide announced the 2025 American South selections during a ceremony in Greenville, South Carolina, Monday night, Nov. 3.
In total, the Michelin Guide honored 228 restaurants representing 44 different types of cuisine and seven Southern states, including Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The guide awarded 10 restaurants Michelin Stars, one of the most coveted distinctions in the dining world.
While Mississippi did not collect any Michelin Stars, the state was still heavily represented.
Bib Gourmand distinction
The Bib Gourmand distinction recognizes eateries for great food at a great value, according to Michelin Guide.
The 2025 American South selections had a total of 50 restaurants, including two Mississippi eateries: Elvie’s of Jackson and Sacred Ground Barbecue of Pocahontas.
Both restaurants are fairly new to the Mississippi dining scene.
Elvie’s
In 2020, award-winning Jackson chef Hunter Evans opened Elvie’s as a homage to his grandmother, May Eliveretta Good, who provided the chef’s first memories of the complex nature of food. Evans grew up visiting his grandmother in New Orleans and fondly remembers eating her classic Southern cooking, which inspires Elvie’s menu today.
In 2020, weeks after Elvie’s had opened, the restaurant fell victim to the COVID-19 pandemic and, like so many other restaurants around the world, shut its doors. The closure was temporary, however, and Evans and his crew managed to grow the restaurant through pop-ups and takeout meals.
Five years later, Elvie’s is still going strong. Earlier this year, the restaurant was named a James Beard Awards Semifinalist.
The menu, split between day and night, includes classic Southern breakfast dishes such as home fries and cheese grits, as well as some more upscale dishes, including oysters and caviar service. The menu includes a wide range of wines and specialty cocktails.
Sacred Ground Barbecue
Sacred Ground Barbecue, tucked away in Pocahontas, opened in 2024 and has quickly become a local favorite.
The newcomer to the Mississippi barbecue scene won the first-ever Clarion Ledger Jackson Metro BBQ Battle in August.
After five weeks and five rounds of bracket-style voting, starting with 32 competitors, Sacred Ground emerged victorious. The menu’s non-traditional dishes managed to beat out established local favorites week after week.
Award-winning local chef Derek Emerson opened the restaurant in late 2024. Emerson, originally from California, started his culinary journey working at the Subway on East Northside Drive in 1989.
When the old Tivoli’s Crawfish building next to the former Big D’s Barbecue went up for sale, Emerson and his wife knew it was perfect for a barbecue joint. The location is far enough away from the busy city, but close enough to make the drive worthwhile.
The name “Sacred Ground” is an homage to the sacred Native American mounds across the street. According to Emerson, the mounds were not burial mounds, but rather served as a central meeting place and ceremonial site.
Sacred Ground’s menu includes some twists on BBQ classics like Kung Pao Pork Belly and BBQ baked potatoes. You can also get plates of brisket, turkey, tri tip, pulled pork, pork ribs and even lamb.
Other menu items include Frito pie, nachos, house-made sausage, brisket melts, smash burgers and smoked pork butts.
