Lendeborg Plays Through Injury, Sparks Michigan Win Over Arizona

During the first half Lendeborg limped off court with a bruised left knee and a sprained MCL, but returned after a brief medical check. He played nine minutes in the second half, draining two 3‑pointers in 80 seconds and grabbing two rebounds as Michigan routed Arizona.
