Wisconsin senior guard Michael Flowers is taking a temporary leave of absence from the basketball program for medical reasons, the Athletic Department announced late Thursday afternoon.
"The important thing is that Michael knows he has the support of his coaches and teammates," UW head coach Bo Ryan said in the release. "We hope that everyone will respect Michael’s privacy."
Contacted shortly after the statement was released, Assistant Director of Athletic Communications Brian Lucas declined further comment.
