Gabe Madsen - Sheds boot, return a ways out Madsen (lower leg) is no longer sporting a walking boot, but coach Craig Smith still doesn't expect to see the junior guard back anytime soon, Josh Furlong of KSL Sports reports.
Impact Madsen was originally given a 4-to-6 week timetable back on Feb. 2, and given that only 11 days have passed, it's no surprise to hear Smith's assessment of the situation. A best-case scenario at this point would be Madsen returning prior to the Pac-12 tournament, which takes place March 8-11.

Gabe Madsen - Expected to miss 4-6 weeks Utah announced on Thursday that Madsen is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a lower leg injury sustained last Saturday against Oregon.
Impact This is a big blow for the Utes who were right in the mix to make the NCAA Tournament. Madsen was the team's second-leading scorer at 11.7 PPG and was one of the top three-point threats in the conference. There's a chance the 6-6 wing could end up missing the rest of the season, but Utah will hold out hope that Madsen is able to return in early March. Lars Stefanovic should step into the starting lineup going forward.
