The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team will be without one of its key players when they open their season against Bellarmine on Wednesday night. Sophomore guard Sahvir Wheeler has been ruled out due to an injury.
Wheeler, who was a major contributor for the Badgers last season, was expected to be a major part of the team’s success this year. He averaged 10.1 points and 4.1 assists per game last season and was expected to take on a bigger role this season.
The injury is a big blow for the Badgers, as Wheeler was expected to be one of the team’s top playmakers. His absence will put more pressure on the other guards to step up and fill the void.
The Badgers will also be without forward Micah Potter, who is out with an ankle injury. Potter was expected to be a major contributor this season after averaging 11.6 points and 5.7 rebounds per game last year.
It’s unclear how long Wheeler will be out, but it’s likely he’ll miss at least a few games. The Badgers will need to find a way to make up for his absence if they want to have any chance of success this season.
The Badgers open their season against Bellarmine on Wednesday night, and it will be interesting to see how they adjust without two of their key players. It’s a tough break for the team, but they’ll need to find a way to overcome it if they want to have any chance of success this season.
