Before today’s game against Morehead State, it was announced that graduate transfer, Spike Albrecht, would not play due to a back injury. In the post-game press conference, we got a few more details about Spike’s injury:
According to Coach Matt Painter, it looks like the injury occurred against Georgia State on November 18th:
#Purdue's Painter said Albrecht injury dates back to collision w. Georgia St player before Cancun trip. Doesn't expect him to play Tuesday.

Despite the injury, Albrecht, being the tough player that he is, didn’t miss a game until today, but did have his minutes limited.
