Aaron Bradshaw reportedly dealing with 'domestic incident' at Ohio State

Ohio State released a statement on Nov. 22 announcing former Kentucky forward Aaron Bradshaw was no longer participating in team activities, but could not “share further information at this time” as it was following “federal privacy laws.”

Head coach Jake Diebler was asked about the sophomore’s absence but refused to go into detail beyond the statement provided by the school.

“He’s currently going through the university process and (I) can’t comment any further,” he said.

Today, The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Bradshaw is being investigated for “a possible domestic incident at his off-campus apartment last week.” No charges have been filed against the former Wildcat, but he is not expected to play in the team’s game against Green Bay tonight and there is no timeframe for his possible return to the team.

Bradshaw did not respond to The Columbus Dispatch’s request for a comment on the matter.

Bradshaw played and started in the Buckeyes’ first four games, averaging 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 23.8 minutes per contest. He transferred to OSU this offseason following his freshman campaign at Kentucky last season. The former five-star recruit averaged 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game as a Wildcat in 26 appearances.

KSR previously reported that despite ongoing speculation, Bradshaw’s situation was not expected to impact Kentucky.

The Wildcats are set to take on the Buckeyes in the CBS Sports Classic on Dec. 21 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It remains to be seen if Bradshaw will be taking on his former team in the anticipated holiday matchup.
