Sophomore forward Jesse King will miss Texas A&M's game at Kansas State on Tuesday to attend to family business, Aggies coach Melvin Watkins said Monday.
"Jesse has to step away and return home to take care of some personal business," Watkins said. "He will miss Tuesday's game, but we hope he will be back soon. We will certainly look forward to his return."
A 6-foot-7 forward from Detroit, Mich., King has missed four other games this season, three because of injury and one due to the death of his grandfather in mid-December. King has appeared in 20 games this season, starting in 15, and is averaging 6.8 points and 3.1 rebounds.
