Justice Sueing's ability to contribute at a high level figures to be a major factor in the Buckeyes' success in the forthcoming season, but the health status of the veteran forward continues to be unclear.
CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein reported an update on Sueing's situation Tuesday, though, tweeting that the Hawaii native is "making progress in return to workouts, but as of now continues to rehab," per Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann.

Sueing only played in two games last season due to injury.
Averaged 10.7 PPG and 5.5 RPG two years ago.
Expected to play an important role for Ohio State in 2021-22 as a returning starter and team captain, Sueing played in only the first two games of the season before a lingering abdominal injury cost him the rest of the season.
The former California transfer announced in early April he would be back with the Buckeyes to close out his college basketball career in his sixth season
