Tang releases statement on Mobi Ikegwuruka’s absence

Kansas State head coach Jerome Tang released a statement Thursday regarding junior wing Mobi Ikegwuruka, who has missed the Wildcats’ last six games.

“Mobi is dealing with a private matter and remains a member of our team,” Tang said in a written statement. “He is eligible to be with us but is not personally ready. We love him and he has our full support.”

The statement follows reporting from WIBW, which noted that Ikegwuruka has been away from the program for several weeks. According to WIBW, Ikegwuruka’s absence is not injury-related.

Ikegwuruka has been consistently listed as out on K-State’s availability reports since December. He briefly returned to the rotation to open Big 12 play before stepping away again, last appearing in a Jan. 7 loss at Arizona.
