MAX KLESMIT NEWS

Healing quickly Klesmit (mouth) will likely return for Saturday's game against Illinois, Mike Lucas of UWBadgers reports.

Impact Klesmit received 16 stitches after taking an elbow to the mouth against Penn State. The junior guard did not travel with the team during the week, but ultimately returned to practice on Thursday. It appears that Klesmit will be ready to play on Saturday, returning to his usual role in the starting lineup.

Officially out Wednesday Klesmit (upper body) has been ruled out of Wisconsin's game against Maryland, per Wisconsin official Brandon Harrison.

Impact Klesmit didn't play against Northwestern after suffering an upper body injury against Penn State a week ago. The guard, who averages 6.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists will now miss his second straight game on the road against Maryland. With Klesmit out, Jordan Davis, who logged a career high 15 points starting for Klesmit in Wisconsin's last game, figures to start again for the Badgers.

Doubtful to play Wednesday Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said Monday that Klesmit (upper body) is unlikely to play in Wednesday's game against Maryland, Evan Flood of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Klesmit is dealing with a upper-body injury sustained during Tuesday's win over Penn State. While Gard didn't provide any additional clarity on the timeline for his return, the 6-foot-3 junior will likely remain out at least one more game after he failed to travel to Monday's rescheduled game versus Northwestern. Klesmit has averaged 6.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.6 steals over 17 starts this season, and his absence should leave freshman Connor Essegian and junior Jordan Davis to continue starting in his place.

Out against Northwestern Klesmit (upper body) won't play Monday night against Northwestern, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Klesmit didn't play in the second half of Wisconsin's last game against Penn State, and his injury appears to have carried over to the Badgers' next contest. The guard is currently averaging 6.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists. Without their sharpshooter Klesmit, Jordan Davis figures to return to the starting lineup for Wisconsin after being usurped by breakout freshman Connor Essegian.

Still without an update Klesmit (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's game against Northwestern, Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Klesmit was forced out of last Tuesday's contest versus Penn State after taking an elbow to the face. The junior guard has since missed practice time and undergone some repair work, so an update regarding his Monday availability should be supplied closer to the 6:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Should Klesmit miss any time, Connor Essegian and Jordan Davis both figure to play more minutes for the time being.

Won't return Tuesday Klesmit has been ruled out for the second half of Tuesday's game with an upper body injury, Evan Flood of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Klesmit tallied three points and one rebound before exiting Tuesday's contest. Jordan Davis and Carter Gilmore will likely receive extended minutes in his absence. Klesmit's status for Saturday's matchup with Northwestern is uncertain.

Scores 11 in loss Klesmit recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 79-69 loss to Illinois.

Impact Klesmit scored in double-figures for the first time in six games during a difficult loss. As he's scored over 10 points in just four games through his first 14, Klesmit isn't always going to offer great production.

JANUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in win Klesmit ended with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 64-59 win over USC.

Impact Klesmit did score 13 in the loss to Kansas on Thursday but barely offered much the following day. Though he's capable of scoring in double-digits, he might lose out on production to Connor Essegian if he can't be more consistent.

Adds 11 points Monday Klesmit (ankle) added 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal during Monday's win over South Dakota.

Impact Klesmit logged the start in his Wisconsin debut and finished with a solid overall stat-line, as he was one of four Badgers to manufacture double figures offensively.

Suffers injury Sunday Klesmit suffered an apparent ankle injury in a scrimmage Sunday, Evan Flood of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact There aren't many details regarding the injury, but Klesmit converted a layup during a scrimmage and landed awkwardly, something that prompted him to go into the locker room. It remains to be seen if it will be a serious injury or not, but this is something worth monitoring with the beginning of the season only a few days away.
