Not starting after all Harper (ankle) has been removed from Rutgers' starting lineup just minutes before tip-off against Michigan State, Connor Wilson of SBNation reports.

Impact Harper was questionable against Michigan State, but fears of him sitting out seemed to be assuaged when he was included in the initial starting five. It's unclear if he's now out for the game, or if he'll simply come off the bench. Regardless, it's safe to assume Harper won't be at full strength even if he does play against the Spartans.

Inefficient with illness Harper (illness) contributed six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block in 28 minutes during Thursday's 68-50 loss to Purdue.

Impact Harper played his second straight game with an illness and although he played better than he did Monday versus Wisconsin, he was very inefficient. He made just two of his nine field goals, his worst shooting percentage in a full game this season. He also failed to score double digit points, something he has only done in the last two games while dealing with the illness. Whatever illness he is dealing with is clearly affecting his play and he may not be fully himself on the court until he is completely recovers.

Questionable to play Thursday Harper is questionable for Thursday's game against Purdue due to the flu, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Harper was limited to just 15 minutes in Rutgers' loss to Wisconsin on Monday, tallying zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block. However, he should be ready to go if healthy, and fantasy managers should expect a better performance from him. He's averaging 21.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game this season as a freshman.

Limited greatly by illness Harper closed with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 15 minutes during Monday's 75-63 loss to Wisconsin.

Impact While Harper was able to re-enter the starting lineup despite being questionable due to the illness that forced him to sit out last Thursday, he was still clearly being hampered by the ailment. Harper was held scoreless for the first time all season, in addition to this contest being the first single game in which he's played under 30 minutes. The All-American candidate has just a few more days to recover before another important conference matchup against Purdue on Thursday.

Out with illness Head coach Steve Pikiell clarified during a pregame radio interview that Harper is feeling under the weather, Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press reports.

Jordan Derkack is the likeliest candidate to replace him in the starting five while Tyson Acuff should some extended run as well.

This was the first triple-double in the Rutgers program in 42 years, and he continues to put up impressive numbers in his freshman year. Through 12 games, Harper is averaging 23.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks across 34.4 minutes per game.
