Michigan men's basketball is off to a strong start against No. 1 Arizona in the Final Four, but the Wolverines have lost a big part of their scoring.
Wolverines guard Yaxel Lendeborg limped off the court at Lucas Oil Stadium and headed immediately into the tunnel in the first half to get tended to by Michigan's medical staff. He appeared to have twisted his ankle on the previous play after stepping over Wildcats forward Motiejus Krivas while going to the basket for a layup. The broadcast later added his knee was hurt on the play as well.
"I just got word that Yaxel Lendeborg is getting iced and ankle retaped and will be back as soon as they complete that," CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson said on the broadcast.
