Struggles to get going Hepburn registered eight points (2-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and three rebounds across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 72-59 loss to Providence.

Impact Hepburn closed an abysmal 2-of-10 from the field, contributing eight points and three rebounds in a wire-to-wire loss against the Friars. Most notably, the junior point guard recorded two turnovers and no assists in the contest, as Wisconsin had nothing going offensively against Providence. Hepburn and the Badgers will look to rebound in a home matchup with Robert Morris this Friday.

Chucky helped facilitate a free-flowing Badger offense, but it remains to be seen how Wisconsin will handle a top-ranked defensive unit Friday against Tennessee.

Six points across 30 minutes Hepburn recorded six points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 65-57 loss to Ohio State.

Impact Hepburn logged 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) across 24 minutes when Wisconsin won at Minnesota on Sunday. Looking to use the positive momentum he built for Sunday against Ohio State, he instead struggled to score sufficiently and efficiently as the Badgers lost. Now eliminated from the 2023 Big Ten Tournament, their focus likely shifts to next season, when Hepburn will be a junior.

Chucky Hepburn returns to practice but his status for Wisconsin's game against Purdue still unknown Chucky Hepburn, who suffered an apparent knee injury in the loss at Michigan, returned to practice Wednesday for the Badgers.

MARCH 2, 2023 • JSONLINE.COM

Labeled game-time call Thursday Wisconsin is listing Hepburn (knee) as a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's matchup with Purdue, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The knee injury kept Hepburn from participating in the Badgers' most recent practice Tuesday, but he was back on the court Wednesday. Even so, the Badgers aren't yet comfortable clearing Hepburn to play, and more resolution on his status may not arrive until closer to Thursday's 9 p.m. ET opening tip nears. In the event Hepburn can't play, Kamari McGee will likely enter the starting lineup at point guard in his stead. Hepburn, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound sophomore, is averaging 12.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.5 steals in 31.9 minutes per contest.

The 6-foot-2 sophomore has started in all 28 games this season, averaging 12.1 points, three rebounds, three assists and 1.5 steals on 31.9 minutes per game.

Limps to locker room Hepburn is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Michigan due to a lower-body injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Hepburn came up limping after a play midway through the second half, forcing him to head straight to the locker room. The sophomore point guard logged four points, four assists and three rebounds before exiting Sunday's contest. In Hepburn's absence, Kamari McGee should step in to handle playmaking duties for the Badgers.
