Wisconsin guard Max Klesmit entered Tuesday night’s matchup against Washington with a lower leg injury. He started the game but played just five minutes in total before being shut down entirely. After the win,

Max Klesmit played just five minutes for the Wisconsin basketball team against Washington. He apparently re-aggravated a lower leg injury that has bothered him this season, but Badgers head coach Greg Gard doesn't think that it's anything to be too worried about.

Based on Gard's tone, Klesmit's status doesn't seem serious. The guard suffered a right ankle injury back on Jan. 6 against Rutgers, which prompted him to miss Wisconsin's Jan. 10 game against Minnesota. He then returned to the lineup, although he appears to still be battling the aftermath of that injury.

Klesmit left with just over 15 minutes remaining in the first half and did not return. Eleventh-ranked Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said after the game that Klesmit has been dealing with the injury for a while.
