Summary
- Trey Kaufman-Renn, Purdue's leading scorer and rebounder, will miss season opener
- Kaufman-Renn received votes for AP All-American team last season
- Purdue is ranked No. 1 heading into the 2025-26 season

On November 5th, 2025, the No. 1 ranked Purdue Boilermakers will be without their starting forward Trey Kaufman-Renn for their season opener against Evansville. Team officials announced shortly before the game that Kaufman-Renn would not be suiting up due to a hip injury.
Kaufman-Renn was Purdue's leading scorer and rebounder last season, averaging 20.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. He also received votes for the prestigious AP All-American team, indicating his status as one of the top players in college basketball. Kaufman-Renn was expected to play an even bigger role on this experienced and deep Purdue squad as they look to make a deep NCAA tournament run.
The loss of Kaufman-Renn is a significant blow for the Boilermakers as they begin their quest for a national championship. However, Purdue has the depth and talent to overcome this setback, and fans will be eager to see how the team responds in the season opener without their star forward.
