The 6-foot-8 forward has thus far averaged 10.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game across 25 appearances (23 starts) this year, but he'll now look to get fully healthy for the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

Future availability TBD Key (shoulder) will make a family decision on his remaining availability this season, according to Andy Backstrom of Rivals.com.

Impact According to Ohio State's head coach Chris Holtmann, Key's remaining availability for the 2022-23 NCAA season will depend on a "decision between him and his family." Key had been playing hurt and only re-aggravated his injured shoulder as the Buckeyes struggled. They have three games left remaining before tournament play. While there is a chance Key could help the Buckeyes salvage what is left of their season, it is an unfavorable risk to play the center when his injury keeps flaring up.
