Puff Johnson - Unavailable Tuesday Johnson (not injury related) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Johnson was granted eligibility last week, but he has yet to make his debut for the Buckeyes. The veteran forward may need to get up to speed from a physical standpoint before being cleared to play. His next chance to do so will come Friday against Michigan.

Puff Johnson - Out vs. UCLA Johnson (not injury related) is out for Saturday's game against UCLA, according to Adam Jardy of Dispatch.com.

Impact Johnson will be with Ohio State's team either Sunday or Monday, but not quickly enough to join the Buckeyes for their upcoming game against UCLA. After they host UCLA, the Buckeyes are scheduled to play their next game Tuesday against Minnesota.

Christoph Tilly - Available vs. UCLA Tilly (head) is available for Saturday's game against UCLA.

Impact Fortunately for Tilly and Ohio State, it looks like no absence is needed from the reliable senior who has helped OSU become a potential threat in the Big Ten Conference. He has been providing solid scoring and rebounding from Ohio State's frontcourt, with 12.4 points and 5.4 boards per game to back him up. With the Bruins lacking someone as big as Tilly down low, and without Skyy Clark (hamstring) available, both the big man and Ohio State have a much more improved chance to excel against UCLA on Saturday.

Christoph Tilly - Hoping to play Saturday Head coach Jake Diebler said that he's hopeful Tilly (head) will be available for Saturday's game against UCLA, Adam Jardy of Dispatch.com reports.

Impact Tilly's injury was initially reported as a rib issue, but the big man is actually battling a head injury. He suffered the injury in Ohio State's previous game. While Diebler is hopeful Tilly will be available, his availability likely won't be confirmed until much closer to Saturday's 1:00pm ET tipoff.

Puff Johnson - Temporarily granted eligibility Johnson has received a temporary restraining order against the NCAA that allows him to play for Ohio State this season, per Dan Hope of ElevenWarriors.com.

Impact Back in April, Johnson put his name in the NCAA's transfer portal in an attempt to squeeze out one more year of collegiate eligibility that the organization did not agree that he had available. But with the restraining order, Ohio State's team has been allowed to pick Johnson up and use him, which the Buckeyes will welcome after Brandon Noel (foot) went down with an indefinite injury. In terms of adapting to conference play, Johnson should have no problem, considering he logged 46 games for Penn State before switching up teams.

Ivan Njegovan - Remains quiet across 25 minutes Njegovan had four points (2-4 FG), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 81-74 loss to Washington.

Impact Coming into Sunday's clash with Washington, Njegovan was averaging just 9.2 minutes. The sophomore center played the most he has in his entire career in the loss to Washington, and was still held in check. He wasn't that assertive, attempting just four shots, though he did pull down six rebounds, matching a career-high in that department. Still, don't expect a big-time outing from Njegovan any time soon.

Impact Tilly suffered the injury early in the second half of Sunday's contest and was unable to make his return. The 7-foot big man had been a star for the Buckeyes this season, averaging 12.7 points and 5.4 rebounds in 27 minutes per game across 15 contests. The details and severity of his injury are thus far unknown, but his next opportunity to return to action will come when the Buckeyes host UCLA on Saturday.

2026 Men's NCAA Tournament Projections: Big Ten, Michigan on Top in New Bracket

Gabe Cupps - Offers nine off the bench Cupps closed with nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 72-62 win over Oregon.

Impact Cupps' nine points were the biggest output of the season thus far. The sophomore guard has been largely quiet off the bench, but he managed to get involved as Ohio State bested Oregon. He'll look to build off this performance as Big Ten play continues.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Christoph Tilly - Drops 14 in win over Ducks Tilly posted 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 72-62 victory over Oregon.

Impact Tilly had scored in the single digits in two straight games, but he got back into double figures against Oregon and did it on just six shots. The senior forward has been quieter on the glass as of late, but it was still a good bounce-back outing for Tilly as the Buckeyes really enter the thick of conference play.
