Iowa basketball’s CJ Fredrick is set to return to the starting lineup tomorrow morning in the third to last game of the year.
It’s a critical return in a home bout against Penn State for Fredrick, who was initially injured earlier in the year in Iowa’s first contest against the Nittany Lions back in early January. Fredrick’s missed the past three games after an ankle-type injury against Indiana, and Iowa has missed his shot dearly as Joe Wieskamp’s own shot has gone on Amber Alert in that timeframe.
Iowa is 3-2 without Fredrick in the lineup this year (3-4 if you count the games where he’s been injured) and simply doesn’t have the bodies to cover up for any other absence.
