Ben Carlson back in practice for Wisconsin basketball after injury

The Badger freshman is back in action

Wisconsin basketball got freshman forward Ben Carlson back this week as the Badgers prepare for the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

After missing the past few months with what had been described as an upper-body injury, Carlson was “full-go” according to Greg Gard in Tuesday’s press conference.

Carlson was a part of the Wisconsin rotation through the first four games of the year, but even after being cleared it’s unclear if he is in the plans come Friday against North Carolina.

He’s been out of the rhythm of it for so long that I don’t know if that’s a good position to put him in, I think more than anything else,” Gard said.

The Badgers meet the Tar Heels on Friday at 6:10 PM in round one of the NCAA Tournament.
