Gard also released a message in support of Yalden in a statement on Wednesday.
“We are in full support of Gus and will always be here for him and his family,” Gard said. “Gus is part of the Wisconsin basketball family and even though he won’t be on the court with us right now, we’ll always do everything we can to help him. We look forward to his return.”
Yalden, a 6’9 freshman originally from Appleton, Wisconsin, was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2023 for the Badgers.
