Purdue Releases Availability Report vs. No. 15 Marquette
In this story:
Purdue junior forward Brian Waddell is expected to be available for Tuesday night's game between the sixth-ranked Boilermakers and No. 15 Marquette. It's the first time he hasn't been listed as "out" on Purdue's availability report during the regular season.
Per Nathan Baird of the Indianapolis Star, freshman center Daniel Jacobsen is the only player listed as "out" on the availability report for Tuesday's contest. He was injured in Purdue's second game of the season against Northern Kentucky.
Waddell missed each of Purdue's first four games with a hand injury. He played in the Boilermakers' exhibition games against Creighton and Grand Valley State.
