Indiana may have Jerome Hunter back on the floor for Sunday’s game against Iowa.

Multiple outlets are reporting that Hunter is partaking in team warmups as the Hoosiers prepare for a home matchup against Iowa, scheduled for 12 p.m. ET on FOX. Hunter missed Indiana’s last game against Illinois due to a “coach’s decision.”

Hunter, a redshirt sophomore, has played in 16 games for IU this season, with Tuesday’s game against Illinois being the only contest he’s missed. The Hoosiers fell 75-71 to the Fighting Illini in overtime.

This season, Hunter is averaging 17.4 minutes per game, along with 5.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and is shooting nearly 42% from the floor. He scored a season-high 12 points in Indiana’s double-overtime loss to Wisconsin.

No word has come from Indiana at this time about Hunter’s status for the game.

Indiana enters Sunday’s game with a 9-8 record and a 4-6 mark in B1G play. The Hoosiers defeated Iowa the last time the two teams met 81-69.
