Oumar Ballo has been... a hot topic lately.
Ballo didn’t play in Indiana’s last game, against Winthrop, despite donning the usual candystripe warmup pants and shooting shirt. Typically when a player is out with injury they’ll be wearing street clothes.
He was listed as questionable and a few social media rumors had claimed he was seen out on the town the previous night. Don Fischer said in his pregame radio show on Thursday that Ballo didn’t play due to an “injury situation.” It’s worth noting that Ballo also popped up as questionable on a previous injury report in December ahead of Indiana’s game against Minnesota.
