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.

The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Lendeborg entered the game averaging 15.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
