The sophomore has started in each of his first nine appearances this year and should continue to see heavy usage for Ohio State.

Expected to play Saturday Liddell (illness) is expected to play Saturday against UCLA, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Ruled out for Wednesday Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said Liddell (illness) won't be available for Wednesday's game against Purdue, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Holtmann also noted that Harvard graduate transfer Seth Towns (knee) will remain sidelined, leaving the Buckeyes shorthanded for their Big Ten opener. After sitting out Sunday's win over Cleveland State, Liddell is being viewed as day-to-day with the non-COVID-19-related illness, so he could have a chance to put an end to his two-game absence Saturday versus North Carolina.

Sidelined indefinitely Liddell will miss an indefinite period of time due to a non-COVID-19 illness, Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The report didn't specify exactly what Liddell is dealing with but the sophomore appears headed for a lengthy stay on the sidelines regardless. It's an unfortunate development for Liddell, who has averaged 15.5 points and 7.5 boards per game through the first four and is coming off his best showing and first double-double of the season versus Notre Dame. With Liddell out of the picture, Musa Jallow may be the most logical candidate to join the starting five after recently returning from an ankle injury. Seth Towns (knee) could also be in line for a major role if he can return soon.
