Michigan star Yaxel Lendeborg leaves Final Four game against Arizona with ankle
injury
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- Michigan star forward Yaxel Lendeborg was sidelined by an
ankle injury during the first half of Saturday's Final Four game against
Arizona, and it was unclear whether he would return.
The first-team All-American had a rough start with two quick fouls and then
exited after he stepped on the foot of Arizona big man Motiejus Krivas and
twisted his left ankle. Lendeborg left the bench for trainers to retape his
ankle and treat it with ice, returned while walking gingerly, then went back to
the locker room.
He tweaked the same ankle during the Big Ten Tournament.
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Lendeborg entered the game averaging 15.2 points, 7.0
rebounds and 3.3 assists.
