Will play Saturday Williamson (toe) will return for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, Shannon Russell of the Louisville Courier-Journal reports.

Impact Williamson exited the game against Seton Hall on Nov. 27 after injuring his toe while coming down from an attempted dunk. While he injured his toe, his right foot reportedly went completely numb when the initial injury occurred. Williamson missed two more games due to the injury and then the Cardinals went on a temporary pause due to COVID-19 problems within the program. The long layoff gave Williamson some extra time to heal as he'll be ready to play and should return to the starting lineup as the team looks to upset the No. 12 Badgers.
