TCU's Eddie Lampkin Jr. (personal) doesn't travel to Big 12 tourney

TCU center Eddie Lampkin Jr. didn't travel to Kansas City with his team for the Big 12 Conference tournament as he addresses personal matters, Frogs Today reported Wednesday.

The Horned Frogs, the sixth seed in the tournament, will meet third-seeded Kansas State on Thursday night.

The 6-foot-11 Lampkin played in just 24 games (19 starts) this season due to injuries and other missed games for personal reasons. He's averaging 6.3 points and 5.9 rebounds over 21.8 minutes per game.

He has career averages of 5.7 points and 5.3 rebounds over 67 games with the Horned Frogs. He appeared in 10 games in the 2020-21 season but wound up taking a redshirt season. He played in 33 games (32 starts) in 2021-22.

It is expected Xavier Cork and JaKobe Coles will see more minutes in Lampkin's absence.
