Impact The newly crowned Big Ten Player of the Year will hope to lead to the Badgers into the NCAA tournament with a little momentum after Wisconsin was unable to capture sole possession of the conference title following its loss to Nebraska. While it's possible that Davis may still be feeling some residual effects of the injury in his return to action, even a compromised version of the 6-foot-5 sophomore would be a welcome addition for the Badgers after he finished the regular season with averages of 20.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks in 33.9 minutes per game. Wisconsin is set to open conference tournament play in the quarterfinal round Friday, when the team plays the winner of Thursday's Michigan State-Maryland matchup.

Impact Davis has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after leaving Sunday's loss to Nebraska early in the second half.

However the Badgers plan to monitor how Davis responds to treatment in the coming days before determining his status for the start of the Big Ten Tournament.

Dealing with ankle sprain Davis suffered a sprained right ankle during Sunday's 74-73 loss to Nebraska, Evan Flood of 247Sports reports.

Impact Davis suffered the injury early in the second half when he was fouled by Trey McGowens, who was assessed a Flagrant 2 and ejected. Davis was declared out for the rest of the contest with a lower-body injury, which has since been specified as a sprained ankle. A candidate for the Naismith Player of the Year, Davis will have four full days to recover before Wisconsin takes the for the Big Ten tournament Friday. He had 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one block in 12 minutes Sunday and finished the regular season with averages of 20.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.9 minutes over 28 games.

Out with lower-body injury Wisconsin ruled Davis out from returning to Sunday's game against Nebraska due to a lower-body injury, Dale Ryman of NewsChannel 7 Wausau reports.

Impact Davis appeared to be holding his right knee after he retreated to the locker room when he exited early in the second half, but Wisconsin isn't providing any specifics on the nature or extent of his injury. More information should be available in the days to come, but at the very least, Davis' lower-body injury puts his availability in question for when Wisconsin begins Big Ten tournament play Friday in the quarterfinal round. The Naismith Player of the Year candidate finishes the regular season with an average of 20.0 points per game over his 28 appearances.
