We’re about a week into practice for the Michigan men’s basketball team, who is preparing for the 2023-24 season without their head coach, as Juwan Howard recovers from his heart surgery in September.
Assistant coach Howard Eisley provided an update on the Defend The Block podcast, emphasizing the importance of his recovery before re-joining the program.
“Obviously it’s a stressful time and a very scary time with the surgery,” Eisley said. “We wish him the best, we want him to get better, and the most important thing right now is his health and him being able to recover and not be in a rush to get back, because I know he misses everyone over here, especially the guys, and wants to be around them.
