Braden Smith - Returns to game Smith checked back into Friday's game Michigan State shortly after exiting with an apparent right leg injury, Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Impact Purdue fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Smith ultimately missed only a few minutes of game time despite his injury scare. The sophomore guard is averaging 13.0 points, 7.2 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 34.0 minutes across his 31 appearances this season and will be crucial to the Boilermakers' hopes in both the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments.
