Impact Murphy will miss Sunday's contest due to a right shoulder injury, marking his second straight missed game. The 6-foot-8 forward scored 11 points in 11 minutes against Oakland earlier this season. He reportedly could be set to miss multiple games, though his timeline is thus far not known. His next chance to return will come against Memphis on Thursday.

C.J. Cox - Starting vs. Alabama Cox (eye) is starting against Alabama on Thursday night.

Impact Cox was a question mark after suffering an eye injury in Friday's game against Oakland, but the guard is good to go in a huge showdown with Alabama. He was quiet in the Boilermakers' opener but dropped 14 against Oakland in game two.

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Expected to start vs. Crimson Tide Kaufman-Renn (hip) is expected to start in Purdue's huge showdown with Alabama, per Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com.

Impact Kaufman-Renn has yet to play this season for the Boilermakers, but it appears one of the better forwards in the country is about to make his season debut, and what a time for it: No. 2 Purdue versus No. 8 Alabama. Last season, he averaged 20.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists, and he's primed to have a similar impact on a Boilermakers squad with national title aspirations. Kaufman-Renn was already reportedly planning to play, but given that he's now trending towards starting, it appears he'll have no limitations against the Crimson Tide.

C.J. Cox - Suffers eye injury Cox suffered an eye injury in Friday's game against Oakland, Sam King of the Lafayette Journal & Courier reports.

Impact Cox was cut over the eye in the first minute of the game, but he returned to the game and finished with an impressive stat line of 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes. Cox was getting stitches after the game, so there's a chance he might miss a game or two in the future. Purdue's next game is against Alabama on Nov. 13, though.

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Out vs. Oakland Kaufman-Renn (hip) is out for Friday's game against Oakland, according to Nathan Baird of IndyStarSports.

Impact Kaufman-Renn is in street clothes around half an hour before Purdue's second game of the 2025-26 season, meaning he will log another DNP because of his hip injury. The last time TKR did not play, Purdue gave Jack Benter another start, so it would not be surprising if the latter's name is listed as a starter. Kaufman-Renn will have just under a week before Purdue's next game, and it being at Alabama provides a crucial juncture the Boilermakers will want him absolutely available for on their side.
