After limping off the court in the first half with a sprained left MCL and aggravated ankle, Lendeborg was seen in tears upon entering the tent, but the training staff reassured him he would recover.
He returned in the second half, playing nine minutes, and delivered two 3‑pointers in 80 seconds, grabbing two rebounds as Michigan defeated Arizona 91‑73, underscoring his toughness and value to the team.
