  "account": "Siena forward Brendan Coyle will witness the unveiling of a new banner at MVP Arena on Sunday, marking a special moment for the 27-year-old. Coyle, who grew up watching Siena games at the arena, is a six-year veteran of the program and helped Siena capture the Metro Conference title in 2023. The ring and banner ceremony will occur before Siena's exhibition game against Syracuse at 2 p.m. Coyle expressed his excitement about seeing his former coach, Syracuse's Gerry McNamara, along with ex-Saints teammates Gavin Doty, Francis Folefac, and Tasman Goodrick. Carmelo Anthony, who once played for Syracuse and now has his son Kiyan on the team, might also be present, though his attendance is uncertain due to a busy schedule. Former Siena player Antonio Chandler, who had eligibility issues earlier this season, will also attend the ceremony and attend the game.",
  "summary": "Coyle's status for the Syracuse game is uncertain. Coach Nevada Smith said Coyle is questionable because of \"tweaks\" and could be held out for precautionary reasons.",
