Notre Dame junior forward Zach Auguste will miss Wednesday night's game at Georgia Tech, school officials said.

Irish coach Mike Brey said in a text message to ESPN.com that Auguste is not suspended but is back at school dealing with an academic matter.

The 6-foot-10 Auguste is averaging 14.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game for the Irish.

Notre Dame (15-2) is ranked 12th in the country, but Brey doesn't have much depth or size on the front line. The Irish start 6-5 senior Pat Connaughton at power forward. There's a chance freshmen Martinas Geben and Bonzie Colson Jr. could get minutes with Auguste out of the lineup.

A source had earlier told ESPN that Auguste had been suspended indefinitely, before Brey clarified Auguste's status.
