Out at Michigan State Klesmit (lower body) is out for Wisconsin's game Sunday at Michigan State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact For the first time in more than two years, Klesmit will sit out a Wisconsin game due to an injury, which came in the form of a lower-body problem suffered during UW's last game of February. The Badgers have excelled with Klesmit healthy, but they risk suffering a setback, especially as they visit a Michigan State team thriving in its own right. Without a healthy Klesmit, the Badgers are expected to rely on one of their guards to start, with the two most likely candidates being Kamari McGee and Jack Janicki.

Off injury report Klesmit isn't listed on Wisconsin's injury report ahead of the Badgers' clash with Ohio State.

Impact The shooting guard should be good to go after missing the Badgers' win over Minnesota. Klesmit has struggled with his efficiency this season, but he still averages a career-best 10.5 points-per-game and brings tenacity to the defensive side of the court. His return is big news for Wisconsin.
