Michigan basketball star Yaxel Lendeborg is recovering well from a bruised left calf sustained earlier this month. Lendeborg, who has been pivotal in recent wins over Indiana and Ohio State, reports feeling 90-95% healthy, with minimal swelling and improved mobility. Despite initial concerns, he chose to play through injuries, demonstrating resilience. Head coach Dusty May highlighted Lendeborg's increased explosiveness and decision-making ability, noting his significant contributions in scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals. Lendeborg's recent performance includes active defense, key blocks, steals, and a notable alley-oop dunk, indicating a return to his pre-injury form. Michigan aims to maximize Lendeborg's impact by playing within the defense's rhythm, leveraging his ability to read the game and make smart plays. The Wolverines, undefeated at 18-1, prepare for upcoming top-10 matchups against Nebraska and Michigan State, emphasizing the importance of Lendeborg's continued recovery and explosiveness for their championship aspirations.
