Short-Handed Badger Basketball Lose King For Rest Of Season

Bad news became worse for the Wisconsin Badgers Monday. Freshman guard Kobe King will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee.  Coach Greg Gard already knew he’d be lost indefinitely.  King and sophomore D’Mitrik Trice were combining for 50 minutes of play and 14 points, so there’s a big hole in Wisconsin’s backcourt and the roster was already thin.  Trice is expected to return in about a month.  King is eligible to apply for a medical hardship waiver, which would mean he’d be playing as a redshirt freshman next season.  Gard could choose to play junior Khalil Iverson in the backcourt to fill some of the lost minutes.
