Looks set to sit Franklin (foot) isn't dressed or participating in warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Purdue, suggesting he will miss the contest, Dustin Dopirak of The Athletic reports. Impact Franklin seemed to be trending in this direction leading up to the contest, so it's not a huge surprise the sophomore will miss out on another game. When healthy, Franklin should resume a starring role for the Hoosiers, averaging 11.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Unfortunately, he may be a bit rusty for the start of the Big Ten Tournament next week even if he gains clearance.
