Eligibility concerns Towns is still awaiting an eligibility waiver from the NCAA for the 2023-24 season, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Impact Despite recently gaining medical clearance after offseason back surgery, Towns is apparently still waiting on a waiver as a two-time transfer.

Supposedly gains medical clearance Towns (back) has been fully cleared for all basketball activities, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Towns is one of the oldest players in all of college basketball, as he began his career with Harvard back in the 2016-17 season. Due to multiple significant knee and back injuries, he's played just three seasons since then, most recently in 2020-21 as a bench player for Ohio State. Fans might get a better picture of his role at Howard on Wednesday night, as the Bison are set to face Capital in an exhibition matchup to prepare for their Nov. 6 season opener against Hampton.

Out for the season Towns (back) will reportedly miss the remainder of the 2021 college basketball season, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Head coach Chirs Holtmann broke the news that Towns will miss the rest of the season. Towns has suffered from a multitude of back injuries that have sidelined him for all of the 2021 season. The 6-foot-8 forward most recently played in 2020 and averaged 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds on 10.9 minutes per game. Towns will reportedly continue with his rehab and work to get back to full strength.

Remains sidelined Towns (back) is still sidelined for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Towns doesn't have a clear timetable for his return from a back issue that has prevented him from playing at all this season. He averaged nearly 11 minutes per contest in his 25 appearances with the Buckeyes last season and could fill a rotational role late in the season should the back issue ever come to pass.

Still not ready Towns (back) will not be available for Tuesday's game against IUPUI, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Towns continues to battle this back injury and all coach Chris Holtmann has said over the last month or so is that he is "making progress." It's a shame that injury has limited what was such a great player a few years ago with Harvard. Ohio State won't play again until Jan. 27 against Minnesota.

The 6-foot-8 forward put up 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds on 10.9 minutes per game in 2020 for Ohio State. Towns' next chance to make his season debut will be Tuesday when the Buckeyes take on IUPUI, but his status for this game is currently unknown.

Not facing Kentucky Towns (back) won't play Saturday against Kentucky, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Towns has yet to play this season, so his absence shouldn't surprise anyone. As things stand now, it's hard to imagine him playing before the end of the current calendar year.

Remains sidelined Coach Chris Holtmann said Towns (back) is "making progress" but won't play Saturday against Wisconsin, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Holtmann also said there's "still rehab work ahead," so Towns' return to the court is unlikely to be imminent. It was previously reported the senior forward was on track to return in mid-to-late December, and it appears that timeline remains relatively accurate.

Needs more recovery time Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said Monday that Towns (back) remains on track for a mid-to-late December return, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Towns remains on the mend from September back surgery and looks like he'll need at least a couple more weeks to heal up. The sixth-year senior has contended with a number of injuries dating back to his time at Harvard, and he may face a minutes restriction once he's eventually cleared to play again. After sitting out the entire 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, Towns averaged 10.9 minutes over 25 appearances in 2020-21, his first at Ohio State.
