Ohio State's Sullinger leaves game with foot injury

Columbia, SC – Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger left Saturday's game against South Carolina with a left foot injury.

Sullinger, the preseason All-Big Ten Player of the Year, was kicked in the foot early in the second half and departed for the locker room.

X-rays revealed there was no fracture.

Sullinger missed two games this season with back spasms, including a loss to Kansas on December 10, before returning for Wednesday's win over USC-Upstate.

The loss to Kansas was No. 2 Ohio State's lone defeat of the season.
