Kayden Mingo - College Basketball News & Rumors

Undergoes surgery Mingo underwent surgery for a nose fracture, per Mark Brennan of 247Sports.

Impact Mingo has missed the last three games after undergoing surgery for a fractured nose, and there's no telling with the star freshman point guard might return.

Dominick Stewart figures to continue to start in the backcourt in his stead.

Will miss several games Mingo (undisclosed) missed Tuesday's game against Michigan and is expected to be out "for a little bit," head coach Mike Rhoades told Daniel Gallen of 247Sports.com.

Impact There aren't many details on the absence of Mingo, but losing the star floor general for any amount of time represents a huge blow for Penn State. He's averaging 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game this season, and with him out, expect Freddie Dilione and Melih Tunca to see more time in the backcourt.

Sidelined Tuesday Mingo (undisclosed) won't play on Tuesday against Michigan.

Impact Mingo is a surprise inclusion on the Nittany Lions' injury report; the star freshman guard hasn't missed a game this season, starting every contest and averaging 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists. This is a big loss for Penn State, which was already a big underdog against what's been a dominant Michigan team this season. Mingo will look to return on Jan. 10 at Purdue.

Highly active in win Mingo supplied 21 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 87-76 victory over Campbell.

Impact Mingo hit 20 points for the second time in the young 2025-26 season, and did so on very solid efficiency. He was also active elsewhere defensively and on the glass, but his facilitation has really taken a step forward in recent games. In his last five games, he has 19 assists to just one turnover. Penn State needs Mingo to continue to be an uber-efficient floor general.
