Not playing Saturday Sotos (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game at Wisconsin, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Sotos' injury has been a bit more complicated than expected and this will be the fourth straight game he'll end up missing. While the likely return of CJ Walker (hand) should boost the team's depth at the backcourt, they'll still miss Sotos' presence off the bench. His next chance to play will come Jan. 31 at home against Michigan State.

Won't play Tuesday Sotos (shoulder) will sit out Tuesday's game against Purdue, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Sotos is set for his third consecutive absence due to a shoulder issue. With both him and CJ Walker (hand) sidelined for the contest, look for Duane Washington to see a large chunk of action on the ball once again, while Sotos will wait until Saturday at Wisconsin for his next chance to take the floor.

Not playing against Illinois Sotos (shoulder) won't play Saturday against Illinois, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Sotos missed Ohio State's most recent games and now is ready to spend a second straight game on the sidelines. Sotos is averaging 1.7 points across 9.5 minutes per game, however, so his absence shouldn't be much of an issue across fantasy formats. The real problem for the Buckeyes will be the fact that CJ Walker (hand) is also unavailable, so Ohio State will be quite thin in terms of their playmaking depth. Sotos' next chance to play will come on Jan. 19 at home against Purdue.
