Sheds crutches Diallo (knee) was spotted without his crutches this week, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Not facing Illinois Walker (hand) won't play Saturday against Illinois, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Walker has already missed two straight games and this means the point guard, who is averaging 8.7 points and 4.2 assists per game, will now miss a third straight matchup. The injury certainly creates issues in the Buckeyes' backcourt, as Jimmy Sotos (shoulder) will also be unavailable Saturday. Walker's next chance to take the court will come Tuesday at home against Purdue.

Not playing against Illinois Sotos (shoulder) won't play Saturday against Illinois, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Sotos missed Ohio State's most recent games and now is ready to spend a second straight game on the sidelines. Sotos is averaging 1.7 points across 9.5 minutes per game, however, so his absence shouldn't be much of an issue across fantasy formats. The real problem for the Buckeyes will be the fact that CJ Walker (hand) is also unavailable, so Ohio State will be quite thin in terms of their playmaking depth. Sotos' next chance to play will come on Jan. 19 at home against Purdue.
