While it's encouraging to see Towns return to the court, he doesn't appear to be in line for a significant role for the Buckeyes.

Week-to-week moving forward Coach Chris Holtmann said that Towns (knee) is week-to-week moving forward, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Not warming Tuesday Towns (knee) was not warming up with the team ahead of Tuesday's game against Notre Dame, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Towns was deemed to be a game-time call, but it's not looking good. Towns participated in warmups last week and still did not take the court. There still remains no timetable for the senior's return. He hasn't played since the 2017-18 campaign.

DECEMBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Tuesday Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said Towns (knee) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest at Notre Dame, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Towns took part in pregame warmups ahead of Ohio State's last game Wednesday against Morehead State before ultimately siting out the 77-44 win, but he should have a better chance at suiting up versus Notre Dame. If he gains clearance to play, the graduate transfer from Harvard would be playing for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign after myriad injuries sidelined him for the past two seasons.

DECEMBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Ultimately sits Wednesday Towns (knee) did not take the court in Wednesday's 77-44 victory over Morehead State.

Impact It was a good sign to see Towns participate in pregame warmups, but he ultimately wasn't needed in the decisive victory. Meanwhile, all five Ohio State starters reached double figures, with E.J. Liddell leading the way with 16 points. Towns' next chance to take the court will be Saturday against Alabama A&M, though every indication from Ohio State suggests the Buckeyes will take a conservative approach with the Harvard transfer.

DECEMBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Going through warmups Towns (knee) is going through pregame warmups with his team, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Towns had no timetable for return from a knee injury that has kept him out since the 2017-18 season, but his presence in warmups is at least a good sign. According to Jardy, Towns didn't participate in dunking drills in pregame warmups, which could indicate he's not ready yet to take the floor. Even when he does return, Towns is likely to be very limited initially, but his talent could make him a valuable asset once he builds up his conditioning.

DECEMBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Still no timetable for return Coach Chris Holtmann indicated Tuesday that Towns remains without a specific timetable for return at this point, Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Towns seemed to hint on his own Twitter account that he's nearing a return to action, but Holtmann seemed to suggest otherwise Tuesday and cautioned that when Towns does return, it will likely require some patience for him to get up to speed following an extended absence from the court dating back to the 2017-18 season.

Ohio State tempering expectations for Seth Towns when he returns Fans shouldn't expect the same level of play from two years ago from the Harvard transfer right away with the Buckeyes.

DECEMBER 1, 2020 • 247SPORTS.COM

Won't play Sunday Towns (knee) will not be available for Sunday's game against UMass-Lowell, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Towns appears to still not be fully ready to see live game action as he continues to recover from knee surgery he had back in March. The team has a few easier opponents on tap until they head to South Bend on Dec. 19 to face Notre Dame in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and then follow that up by hosting UNC on Dec. 19. Towns, who was a prolific scorer during his two years at Harvard, would solve a lot of offensive problems for the Buckeyes as they prepare for a crucial part of their non-conference schedule.
