University of Wisconsin women’s basketball guard Taylor Wurtz is out for the rest of the season with a recurring back problem. The senior guard has taken a medical redshirt which allows her to return next year. Coach Bobbie Kelsey said Wurtz will have surgery on Thursday, and she’ll have a 6-to-8 week recovery period. Kelsey said the long-term health of the 6-foot Wurtz is the most important thing – and the coach experts Wurtz to come back stronger next year, and finish her Badger career on the court. Wurtz has missed eight games with her back injury, after averaging 12 points in the season’s first five contests. She was a third-team All-Big Ten selection a year ago.
