Impact Mobley hurt his ankle during Ohio State's loss to Pittsburgh on Black Friday after logging three points, one rebound and one steal across 14 minutes. He's reportedly making progress towards a return to the court, but the Buckeyes aren't ready to commit to their stat guard being available for Ohio State's Big Ten opener against the Wildcats on Saturday.
