Toppin will play during the 2026-27 season after suffering a torn ACL on Feb. 17 at Arizona State, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Analysis:The Texas Tech forward still does not have a set timetable for his return after averaging 21.8 points and 10.8 rebounds prior to the injury. This confirms Toppin is expected back next season, though his exact availability remains unsettled until a firmer timetable is established. His return would be significant for Texas Tech given the level of production he provided before the knee injury.
