Badgers' Janicki Out for Season After Wrist Surgery
21 Feb
Summary
- Jack Janicki suffered a broken wrist and underwent surgery.
- He will miss the remainder of the regular season.
- His absence impacts the team's eight-man rotation strategy.
Wisconsin Badgers wing Jack Janicki will be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season due to a broken wrist. The injury forced him to exit Tuesday's road game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, which Wisconsin lost 86-69.
Head coach Greg Gard confirmed that Janicki underwent surgery on Thursday and his recovery timeline is uncertain. Gard indicated that a return during the regular season is unlikely, with any potential comeback occurring after its conclusion.
Janicki was a key member of the Badgers' eight-man rotation, averaging 16.5 minutes per game. His ability to play small-ball at the four provided versatility. Freshman Hayden Jones saw increased minutes in Janicki's absence, scoring six points. Freshmen Zach Kinziger and Will Garlock may also see more playing time.
