Wisconsin senior guard Bronson Koenig will miss the first game of his college career due to injury Thursday when the Badgers travel to face Michigan (7 p.m. ET, ESPN), a team official said Thursday afternoon.
Koenig has a left leg strain, according to the school. The injury started in his calf and went to his knee and IT band.
Wisconsin hopes Koenig can play Sunday against No. 23 Maryland in Madison.
Koenig is averaging 13.4 points and 2.2 assists per game. He scored only two points and was 1-of-8 from the field in a 66-59 home loss to Northwestern on Sunday night.
