BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana forward Race Thompson is dressed for warmups prior to the Hoosiers matchup against Michigan State on Sunday at Noon ET at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. He is considered a game-time decision.

Indiana released this statement an hour before tipoff.

Thompson's return would give Indiana a boost on the defensive end and give the Hoosiers one of their veteran leaders.
