CHAMPAIGN — Illinois men’s basketball has yet to play a game with its entire roster available this season. Multiple players have missed games with either injuries or suspensions.
That won’t change for Saturday’s 7 p.m. Braggin’ Rights showdown with Missouri at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.
Freshman Tevian Jones will continue serving his indefinite suspension, with the Missouri game his sixth on the bench. The 6-foot-7 guard last played on Nov. 25 against Mississippi Valley State, logging 13 minutes and scoring three points.
“Tevian, he’s a young man that will be back,” Illinois coach Brad Underwood said at Tuesday’s Illini Rebounders luncheon.
