According to a report by Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch, Ohio State basketball forward Kyle Young is being evaluated for appendicitis and may have to undergo surgery.
Young started for the Buckeyes Sunday in Cleveland against West Virginia, but according to the report from BuckeyeXtra (subscription may be required) he vomited prior and after the game OSU eventually lost 67-59. The Ohio State staff believed him to be in the early stages of the flu and continued to monitor him.
“It was touch and go with him,” Holtmann said according to Jardy.
Young has added a much needed presence for the Buckeye basketball team this year. He’s been the glue that does a little bit of everything on the court, from grabbing rebounds, making crucial passes, or even adding some much scoring (8.3 per contest) at times.
Young missed a few games with a stress fracture in his leg last spring but has been healthy so far this year. There is no timetable on when he will return if he does have to have surgery, but we’ll stay on top of it.
