Aaron Bradshaw may suit up against his former team in New York City on Saturday.

Ohio State‘s Bradshaw (personal), and Ques Glover (ankle) will be game-time decisions for today’s matchup against Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic, according to reports. The pair of Buckeyes will be evaluated during pregame shootarounds.

Bradshaw hasn’t played since Nov. 19 and is averaging 7.8 points per game and 4.5 rebounds. Glover, a senior transfer, has played in three games for Ohio State this season.

Fans on both sides will be curious to see if Bradshaw plays, as the Buckeyes’ big man played his freshman season in Lexington for John Calipari last season. Bradshaw left Lexington, along with most of him teammates, when Calipari left for Arkansas but chose not to follow his head coach to Fayetteville.

Instead, he chose to play for Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler and the Buckeyes.

Bradshaw started all four games he played this season, but hasn’t been on the court in over a month due to Ohio State investigating Bradshaw for “a possible domestic incident at his off-campus apartment.” He was not allowed to participate in team activities during the investigation but has since been cleared to return to the program earlier this month.

As the 7 foot 1 center looks to make his on-court return on Saturday against the team he played 26 games for during the 2023-24 season. Starting 10 of those matchups for UK, he averaged 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds for the Wildcats before transferring to Ohio State.

Before college, Bradshaw was a highly-coveted recruit and a Five-Star Plus+ prospect, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He was the No. 4 overall player in the 2023 class and the No. 1 center overall.

Tip-off between the Buckeyes and Wildcats is set for 5:30 p.m. ET live on CBS. It follows the conclusion of UCLA vs. North Carolina on the same court.

Kentucky enters game day as a 7.5-point betting favorite.
