Will be game-time call Frager (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Nebraska's clash with Illinois on Sunday, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Frager has missed the last two games for the Cornhuskers, and is in danger of making it three straight. The freshman wing has been very valuable for Nebraska, averaging 12.2 points and 3.9 rebounds off the bench. His availability will likely come right down to tip-off time.

Out again Tuesday Frager (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Michigan.

Impact Frager will miss a second straight game due to a sprained left ankle. The freshman has come off the bench in all but one of his appearances, but he's been one of the Cornhuskers' top offensive producers. He averaged 15.7 points in the seven games before he sustained the ankle injury midway through a Jan. 21 matchup against Washington. Frager's next chance to play will come Sunday against Illinois.

Game-time call vs. Wolverines Frager (ankle) is a game-time decision for Nebraska's clash with Michigan on Tuesday, per Justin Frommer of the Hastings Tribune.

Impact Frager missed his first game of the season on Jan. 24, a 76-57 win over Minnesota. Now, the freshman guard is in danger of making it two straight absences, and his availability for a top five clash with the Wolverines in Ann Arbor appears slated to come right down to tip-off. Frager averages 12.2 points and 3.9 rebounds off the bench this season.

Out vs. Minnesota Frager (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Frager was initially listed as day-to-day with an ankle sprain, but the freshman forward will ultimately be ruled out for this contest against the Golden Gophers with the injury. Frager has been an impact player for Nebraska, averaging 12.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game this season. His next chance to suit up will come against Michigan on Tuesday, Jan. 27.

Day-to-day with ankle sprain Frager (ankle) is considered day-to-day moving forward, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Frager suffered an ankle sprain during Wednesday night's victory over Washington and exited the contest early but appears to have avoided a major injury. The 6-foot-7 freshman has been an impact player in his first season in Lincoln, averaging 12.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game across 19 contests for the Huskers. The day-to-day diagnosis is certainly a positive development, though he will still remain questionable for Saturday's matchup against Minnesota.

Suffers ankle sprain Frager (ankle) sustained a left ankle sprain during Wednesday's 76-66 win over Washington, Steve Marik of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Head coach Fred Hoiberg provided a post-game update following Frager's exit from Wednesday night's game, stating that the 6-foot-7 freshman is believed to have suffered a left ankle sprain. Frager will undergo an X-Ray tomorrow and his status will continue to be monitored ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden Gophers.

Exits game Wednesday Frager (lower leg) exited Wednesday's game against Washington with an apparent foot injury, Chase Matteson of 10/11 News reports.

Impact Frager exited Wednesday night's game against the Huskies with a lower-left-leg injury and was spotted in street clothes with a boot coming out of halftime. The extent of Frager's injury has yet to be revealed, but he will not return to the contest. The 6-foot-7 freshman stepped into a big role in the wake of Connor Essegian's injury for the Cornhuskers', averaging 12.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.6 steals on 23.4 minutes per game (18 games). Frager's status will be monitored in Nebraska's post-game press conference.

No. 8 Nebraska stays unbeaten with a dominant 77-58 win over Northwestern

Braden Frager and Pryce Sandfort each scored 20 points and No. 8 Nebraska stayed unbeaten with a 77-58 victory at Northwestern on Saturday

Cans seven triples in easy win Frager provided 23 points (8-13 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 90-55 win over Oregon.

Impact Nebraska simply couldn't miss from downtown, hitting 17-of-36 three-pointers in the rout of Oregon. Frager was a huge part of that, as he hit seven shots from beyond the arc off the bench, easily the most of his career. The freshman forward has fit like a glove in Lincoln, averaging 12.3 points and 4.1 rebounds off the bench. Still, if he can shoot like this, his minutes soon won't resemble that of a bench player.
