Max Klesmit - Out at Michigan State Klesmit (lower body) is out for Wisconsin's game Sunday at Michigan State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact For the first time in more than two years, Klesmit will sit out a Wisconsin game due to an injury, which came in the form of a lower-body problem suffered during UW's last game of February. The Badgers have excelled with Klesmit healthy, but they risk suffering a setback, especially as they visit a Michigan State team thriving in its own right. Without a healthy Klesmit, the Badgers are expected to rely on one of their guards to start, with the two most likely candidates being Kamari McGee and Jack Janicki.
