Jordan Davis - Back to bench Davis will return to the bench as Wisconsin hosts Illinois on Saturday.

Impact Davis had been benched in favor of Connor Essegian following Wisconsin's game against Indiana, but was soon thrust back into a starting role when Max Klesmit went down with a head injury. With Klesmit now healthy and starting, Davis will return to the bench. Davis has played well since being supplanted in the starting five, and will look to continue to provide a spark off the bench for the Badgers.

Max Klesmit - Starting in return Klesmit (mouth) wlll start Saturday's game versus Illinois.

Impact Klesmit has missed the past pair of games after taking a shot to the mouth against Penn State on Jan. 17, but he will rejoin the action Saturday and retake his usual spot in the starting unit. Jordan Davis will slide to the bench in a corresponding move.

JANUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Max Klesmit - Active Saturday Klesmit (mouth) is available for Saturday's game against Illinois, Badgers Brand Communications Manager Brandon Harrison reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Klesmit was considered likely to play in Saturday's contest. He received 16 stitches after taking an elbow to the mouth against Penn State. Look for him to take on his usual role assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Max Klesmit - Healing quickly Klesmit (mouth) will likely return for Saturday's game against Illinois, Mike Lucas of UWBadgers reports.

Impact Klesmit received 16 stitches after taking an elbow to the mouth against Penn State. The junior guard did not travel with the team during the week, but ultimately returned to practice on Thursday. It appears that Klesmit will be ready to play on Saturday, returning to his usual role in the starting lineup.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Connor Essegian - New career high Essegian recorded 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 73-55 loss to Maryland.

Impact Essegian has started three consecutive games for the Badgers and should continue to do so while Max Klesmit remains sidelined with an upper body injury. The freshman has always been known to provide a scoring spark off the bench, but he's now seen 33 or more minutes in four consecutive games, which culminated in a career-high scoring total Wednesday. While his efforts weren't enough to prevent the lopsided defeat, Essegian continues to come up with key buckets when the Badgers need them most. He now leads the squad in three-pointers made on the season with 42.

GAME DAY: Wisconsin at Maryland Wisconsin looks for a regular season sweep of Maryland.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • 247SPORTS.COM

Max Klesmit - Officially out Wednesday Klesmit (upper body) has been ruled out of Wisconsin's game against Maryland, per Wisconsin official Brandon Harrison.

Impact Klesmit didn't play against Northwestern after suffering an upper body injury against Penn State a week ago. The guard, who averages 6.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists will now miss his second straight game on the road against Maryland. With Klesmit out, Jordan Davis, who logged a career high 15 points starting for Klesmit in Wisconsin's last game, figures to start again for the Badgers.

Chucky Hepburn - Comes up short late Hepburn racked up 12 points (4-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 66-63 loss to Northwestern.

Impact While multiple Hepburn iso opportunities were unable to get things done in the final possessions, the sophomore point guard has still been largely productive in six Big Ten games to begin the 2023 calendar year. Over that span, he's posted 14.2 ppg and 4.3 apg, with both representing increases from his season-long marks. Of course, his usage was boosted a bit by the three-game absence of running mate Tyler Wahl, and the Badgers sport just a 2-4 record overall during that stretch.
