Michigan guard L.J. Cason will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn right ACL, as announced by the university on Saturday. The injury happened during the Wolverines' victory over Illinois on Friday night.
Cason, a sophomore, had been a significant presence for No. 3 Michigan, providing consistent play as a backup guard. He was averaging 8.4 points and 2.4 assists per game, with impressive three-point shooting accuracy. His recent performances included scoring in double figures in four of his last six games.
Coach Dusty May expressed his sympathy for Cason but emphasized the player's resilience and determination. With Cason sidelined, the primary point guard responsibilities will largely fall to Elliot Cadeau. The team, having recently clinched the Big Ten regular-season title, faces remaining regular-season games against Iowa and Michigan State.
