Badgers starter shares update on his injury, return on Thursday vs. Northwestern

The Wisconsin Badgers are expected to be at full strength on Thursday, as guard Max Klesmit was cleared to play for Thursday’s matchup against the Northwestern Wildcats.

“Feeling good. Gonna play,” Klesmit affirmed earlier this week.

It’s been a tough break for the senior guard, who head coach Greg Gard said was dealing with a nagging injury that aggravated against Wisconsin’s win over Washington in late February.

Klesmit has dealt with injuries, specifically lower-body ones, in the past, so he’s gotten a better understanding of how his body responds. But, that didn’t make the process any easier the last few weeks.
