Michigan’s exhibition win in Croatia on Thursday was overshadowed by an injury to freshman guard Brandon McCoy, a five-star prospect who had to be carried off the court.
McCoy’s injury occurred during the Wolverines’ overseas exhibition matchup, turning attention away from the result and toward the status of one of the program’s most highly regarded newcomers.
The game was part of Michigan’s preseason international schedule, giving the team an early opportunity to build chemistry and evaluate its roster before the upcoming college basketball season.
Highly Touted Freshman Exits Early
McCoy arrived at Michigan as a five-star recruit and is expected to be a notable part of the Wolverines’ freshman class. His departure from the court marked a concerning moment in what otherwise was a successful exhibition outing for Michigan.
No further details on the nature or severity of the injury were provided.
