STILLWATER — Cade Cunningham stood between two coaches on Oklahoma State’s sideline yelling directions and encouragement.
He was in a white hoodie and light denim jeans while wearing a black medical mask.
Not an orange Cowboys jersey.
OSU’s best player — and one of the top stars in the country — was stuck on the sideline as part of COVID-19 protocols.
“He’s not in any position to play a game right now,” OSU coach Mike Boynton said.
Saturday was a strange day around Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Cunningham warmed up an hour before the game, but left the court and did not return in uniform.
