Exits game Wednesday Winter (leg) exited Wednesday's win over Maryland, Nick Osen of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Winter was helped to the locker room with just over six minutes left in the second half after coming down hard on a putback attempt. The 7-foot junior was surrounded by his teammates on the floor and looked to be in a lot of pain holding his left leg/knee. Winter's night is done given Wisconsin's large lead at his time of exit, and his status for Saturday's game against Purdue and the upcoming Big Ten Tournament appears to be in jeopardy at this time.

Efficient outing vs. Hawkeyes Winter ended with 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one block over 33 minutes during Sunday's 84-71 victory over Iowa.

Impact Winter was surgical for the Badgers, dropping a highly efficient 18 points on 73 percent shooting from the field. It was also good to see him go 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, as he'd struggled with his three ball recently, hitting just 3-of-17 shots from deep in his last five games combined. Wisconsin's star guard tandem of Nick Boyd and John Blackwell gets most of the attention, but Winter looks like the X-factor for these Badgers as March creeps closer.

Career high in defeat Winter finished with 26 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds and two blocks over 39 minutes during Saturday's 78-77 OT loss to Indiana.

Impact Winter had the best scoring day of the season and of his career, in addition to posting his second consecutive double-double.

Winter is a perfect testament to Wisconsin's player development and will be pivotal in any prospective postseason run.

Impact Winter's open three-point looks may not have been falling, but he affected the game defensively against an opponent that largely utilized a small-ball lineup. The end result was his fourth double-double of the calendar year, as well as the third time in the last four games he's recorded multiple blocks. Winter and the Badgers now have a slight break ahead before hitting the road to face Indiana on Saturday.
