Seth Towns will end another season on the sideline instead of on the basketball court.
Chris Holtmann announced Tuesday that the sixth-year forward will not play for Ohio State this season, as team doctors have shut him doing during rehab from a preseason procedure on a herniated disc in his back.
"Seth Towns will be out for the remainder of the season. He's gonna continue to rehab and do everything he can to return to full health," Holtmann said. "I'm disappointed for Seth, I know he's had a go of rough injuries. He's a terrific young man and he's really worked at this thing. It's a separate injury from his knee. His knee is actually feeling considerably better, the best it's felt. This is more a back issue.
"This is something we literally just got news on in the last 24 hours. Up until that point we assumed he was gonna be available to return at some point."
