Chris Holtmann confirmed starting power forward Kyle Young will not be able to play today in East Lansing against Michigan State.
Ohio State's Kyle Young (ankle) will not play today at Michigan State, per Chris Holtmann.

Young suffered the injury back on February 23 in the first half of Ohio State's win over then No. 7 Maryland. Since the injury, he's been in a walking boot and listed as day-to-day.
The assumption is Alonzo Gaffney will also continue to be unavailable, as is point guard DJ Carton, forcing the Buckeyes to play with a short bench.
So far, so good for the depleted Buckeyes however, as they've won four in a row and six of the last seven including back-to-back wins over ranked Michigan and Illinois squads.
Ohio State's battle against the No. 16 Spartans, comes on Senior Day for Tom Izzo's squad and will be televised at 4:30 p.m. on CBS.
