Ohio State coach Thad Matta said Jared Sullinger will play when No. 2 Ohio State hosts Lamar on Tuesday night.
Sullinger left Saturday’s win at South Carolina in the first half and had to be taken to a hospital for tests after hurting his left foot. He reappeared later on the bench with crutches. He tweeted after the game that he would practice the next day, but he didn’t.
Sullinger also missed two recent games with back spasms, but Matta says he will play.
“I’m expecting him to play, just from what he’s saying, how much better it felt yesterday than it did on Saturday and how much better it feels today than it did on Sunday,” said Matta, who picked up his 200th Ohio State win in Saturday’s game.
