Chester Frazier sustained a broken hand and had surgery; out for Big Ten tournament

Frazier sustained a broken hand Wednesday at the team's practice facility. He won't play today when second-seeded Illinois meets seventh-seeded Michigan in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals at Conseco Fieldhouse (5:30 p.m., Big Ten Network).

Multiple sources said Frazier sustained a fracture and underwent surgery Thursday morning before traveling with the team to Indianapolis. He is out for the Big Ten tournament, though Illinois is holding out the slim hope he could return at some point during the NCAA tournament.
