The sophomore wing, who suffered a bone fracture in his left foot in the preseason dark scrimmage at Lindenwood University against Kansas in October, has missed each of Illinois’ first 15 games with the injury but the Fort Wayne, Ind. native has been walking without a protective boot for the last weeks.
