Michigan State’s Jaxon Kohler, right, and Frankie Fidler, left, celebrate a turnover as Wisconsin’s Nolan Winter, center, reacts during the second half on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.
He played just 13 minutes in that game after incurring a shoulder injury from a put back dunk. This worried many fans as he has been an indispensable part of the team’s offense and defense. He carved his way into the starting five after his rookie season and is averaging 9.5 points per game, seven rebounds, and one assist.
It’s been four days since the Penn State game and according to the latest from head coach Greg Gard, Winter recovered from the injury scare.
“(Nolan Winter) was back (at practice) a little bit yesterday,” Gard told reporters on Tuesday.
“Then we varied today, which was more opponent specific. So he’s in-and-out a little bit. But he’s back. Said he feels good. That’s the plan, is he will be back and ready to go.”

Winter’s absence in the game against the Lions was sorely missed. His tenacity on defense and ability to shoot the three from beyond the arc limited the movements of their guards.
Jack Janicki and Kamari McGee tried to hold down the forth but their efforts were not enough.
He had a significant recovery period and it worked as Klesmit himself said he will be ready for the Big Ten tournament.

“Feeling good. Gonna play,” he said on Monday.
Badgers will face the Northwestern Wildcats on Thursday. These two teams last met on February 1 with the Badgers coming out on top of a close match, 75-69.
