Wisconsin guard Chucky Hepburn 'questionable to return' vs. Michigan with lower body injury
Wisconsin faithful is holding their breath as Chucky Hepburn suffered an apparent lower body injury.
In the middle of a close game against the Michigan Wolverines, Hepburn — who had four points, three rebounds and four assists at the time — went to the bench in pain, and then walked to the locker room. Now, he’s questionable to return to the game.
“Status update at Michigan: Chucky Hepburn is questionable to return for Wisconsin (lower body),” tweeted Brandon Harrison, Brand Communications and Social Media for Wisconsin.
Time will tell if Hepburn is alright, but Wisconsin will certainly hope so. Any time missed would be a huge blow for the Badgers so close to the Big Ten and subsequent NCAA Tournament.
