The Michigan women’s basketball program could be without its leading scorer next season as multiple outlets reported earlier this week that junior guard Laila Phelia has entered the transfer portal.
In 33 games last season, Phelia averaged 16.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 42.3 percent from the field, 32.1 percent from three and 80.1 percent from the free throw line. Phelia scored 20 points or more 12 times this past season, including scoring a season-high 30 points when Michigan needed it most, as she led the Wolverines in a comeback win over Indiana to improve their at-large resume and essentially secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
