Berger is not fit to play, but the leg brace that once extended from her upper right thigh to just below her ankle is gone. It doesn’t look like there is.

When the Hoosiers got home that Sunday, Berger underwent an MRI and was ruled out indefinitely. .
The team usually keeps that information pretty private, so it wasn’t revealed what kind of knee injury Berger suffered, but since she was walking on New Year’s Day, it wasn’t too detrimental. We can guess.
Indiana managed just fine without a star point guard, winning seven games including Auburn where she fell first. But the competitive Big Ten in his conference caught up to No. 4 Indiana State as Michigan State beat the Hoosiers 83-78 on Thursday.
Berger’s specific return date is likely not to be revealed, but the lack of braces suggests she’s on the road to a faster-than-expected recovery.
