Report: Sullinger Injured

The Not Good Gray Box is back.

Bob Baptist of the Columbus Dispatch is reporting Jared Sullinger will miss tomorrow's game against Texas Pan-American - and maybe more - due to injury.

It sounds like a possible back issue though the university has not released any specifics about his injury or the length of time he could be expected to miss.

Since Baptist's report, Doug Lesmerises tweeted he spoke to someone close to Sully who indicated the injury is not serious and not a long term concern.

Hold your breath, Buckeye fans.

I just talked with someone close to Sullinger, they made it sound as if injury is not very serious, not long-term concern

LOL never fails.

Great opportunity to extend the rotation and play some of the freshman Matta has been unwilling to. Could be better off long term if he starts to trust them enough to give them consistent playing time, have an 8-9 man rotation.

3 big 10 network channels and they all have the same game on. Why can't one of them show the Buckeyes game?

If no camera crew was present? Did the game actually happen?

 

[Huber.]

game is on first row sports if anyone is interested. no sound. camera feed is from the OSU scoreboard.

He should play vs KU...

Naturally, I take any kind of injury news (no matter what team) with large grains of salt any more.

 

[Chris]

Good news.

No way he doesn't play against KU.

 

[Huber.]

I would rather him get healthy rather than rush it back to play KU. A Sullinger-less loss against KU means nothing.

 

[Huber.]

This team really missed Sullinger today.

 

[elcheato]

Matta is clueless without him in. Lenzelle Smith and Ravenel are two non factors offensively, on the court at the same time. And Craft isn't much of a threat to score either..

Why is a guy out for weeks with back spasms
