PEORIA — Eli’s coming back.
Elijah Childs, Bradley’s leading scorer and rebounder at the time he underwent surgery on the broken middle finger of his right hand a month ago, is expected to play in Sunday’s Missouri Valley Conference game against Evansville at Carver Arena. Tipoff is 1 p.m.

“It’s going well,” he said following Saturday’s practice. “I’ll see how I feel when I wake up (Sunday), and we’ll go from there.
