DETROIT — So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Matt Painter didn’t want to say exactly that on Saturday, but the Purdue coach also didn’t want to definitively say his 7-foot-2 senior Isaac Haas is done for the rest of the NCAA Tournament — which the program said was the case on Friday.

There’s no change in Haas’ diagnosis — he did, in fact, fracture his right elbow after a second-half fall in Friday’s win over Cal State Fullerton — but there’s still an outside shot he could play for the second-seeded Boilermakers on Sunday against 10th-seeded Butler in the second round of the East Region.

“I would think he dresses and goes through warmups,” Painter said. “I would think he wants to do that to stay connected and stuff. But I don’t think he’ll play.”

Haas, who has played in all 139 games during his Purdue career and is averaging 14.7 points and 5.7 rebounds this season, would wear a brace on his elbow that would have to be approved by the NCAA. Painter confirmed that he was on the court for a closed practice Saturday.

“His legs aren’t broke, so you’re allowed to still run when your elbow is fractured,” Painter said, adding that Haas will still need surgery.

Haas was not made available to reporters, but was seen walking through the halls of Little Caesars Arena with a sling on his right arm.

Matt Haarms, Purdue’s 7-foot-3 redshirt freshman, spent Saturday preparing as if he will be starting in Haas’ spot. The Netherlands native has played in all 35 games this year and has been a force on the defensive end, but hasn’t produced as much offensively.

“I just gotta step up,” Haarms said. “I’ve shown what kind of player I’ve been all year. I played 35 games, so I know what my role is within this team and I’m going to continue to fill that.”

Butler junior guard Paul Jorgensen (10.3 ppg), a New City native, will also be a game-time decision after injuring his left ankle Friday.

“As long as I can sprint, I can endure some pain,” Jorgensen said.
