Kayden Mingo - Status day-to-day Mingo (undisclosed) is day-to-day, according to Daniel Gallen of 247Sports.com.

Impact Penn State's head coach, Mike Rhoades, announced that Mingo is dealing with an undisclosed injury, which explains why he sat out the last four minutes of PSU's game Saturday against Iowa. He gets a questionable tag going into the Nittany Lions' upcoming matchup Wednesday against Ohio State and just before they prepare for the 2026 Big Ten Tournament. Mingo was a big help in February, averaging 15.0 points and 4.0 assists across his last five games.

Impact Reed and the Nittany Lions have taken their lumps in league play this year, but the senior has quietly put together a run of 13 consecutive games in double figures, averaging 15.3 ppg over that span. That culminated in a career-best scoring total Saturday, helping Penn State get its third Big Ten victory.
