A major blow to the Badger men’s basketball team, who just knocked off fourth ranked and previously unbeaten Purdue on Saturday.
Wisconsin junior forward Jon Leuer (pictured) injured his left wrist in Saturday’s game. Leuer was injured early in the first half as he tried to break his fall.
An x-ray after the game revealed a fracture of a bone in his wrist and he is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow (Tuesday). No timetable has been set for his return.

Leuer has started all 16 games for UW this season and was the Badgers’ second-leading scorer at the time of the injury, averaging 15.4 points a game. He also leads the team in rebounding (6.2) and blocks (1.2) per game.
