Not part of starting lineup Wilkinson is not part of the Tigers' starting lineup Thursday against Mississippi State, according to Glen West of 247Sports.com.

Expected back against Texas A&M Wilkinson (hip) is expected to be available during Saturday's showdown with Texas A&M, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Wilkinson has missed the Tigers' last two games with a hip injury, but he is expected to try and give it a go Saturday. The 6-foot-5 senior has appeared in 11 games this season, averaging 1.6 points and 1.8 rebounds on 12.4 minutes per game.

Fails to see court Wilkinson (undisclosed) did not take the court in Thursday's 87-66 victory over Lamar.

Impact Wilkinson's minutes have been wildly inconsistent all season, but he had at least made an appearance in all 11 prior contests. The senior even started three of the last four games for the Tigers, with his most recent appearance being a scoreless one in 12 minutes last Saturday against Texas. In fact, that was his fourth time held scoreless in LSU's last five games, though offense has admittedly never been a strong suit for Wilkinson. Nonetheless, his absence, without explanation, is noteworthy. Jalen Cook entered the starting lineup in his stead as part of a realignment, and while the two players' roles aren't directly correlated, Cook's heavy minutes demand will mean less overall to go around.
