Ohio State's Kyle Young To Return Vs. Indiana Following Two-Game Absence

Thirteen days after getting his appendix removed, Kyle Young is back.

Ohio State's junior power forward is cleared and will play against Indiana on Saturday afternoon. He missed two games after having his appendix removed following the Buckeyes' loss to West Virginia on Dec. 29.
