Wisconsin guard Max Klesmit will not play Sunday against No. 8 Michigan State due to a lower-body injury, CBS Sports reported.

Klesmit aggravated the injury early in the first half of the Badgers' 88-62 victory over Washington on Tuesday. Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard said Klesmit had been dealing with the injury for quite some time.

Klesmit averages 9.7 points and a team-leading 2.7 assists per game for the No. 11 Badgers (22-6, 12-5 Big Ten), who have won six of their past seven games.

This is the only meeting of the regular season between Wisconsin and the Spartans (23-5, 14-3).
