Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic will return to the court on Saturday afternoon for the No. 8 Cyclones' game against visiting TCU, head coach TJ Otzelberger told ESPN.

Momcilovic has been sidelined since the Jan. 11 game against Texas Tech. The injury to his left hand occurred in practice after that game. The Cyclones (17-5, 7-4 Big 12) are 3-4 in his absence.

"(Momcilovic) feels great and is excited to return," Otzelberger said.

The 6-foot-8 Momcilovic started 14 of Iowa State's first 15 games this season and is averaging 10.3 points and 3.5 rebounds.

Last season as a freshman, Momcilovic averaged 10.9 points and 3.1 rebounds. He started all 37 games, tying a school record.
