Michigan basketball's Austin Davis is coming back for a fifth year.

Coach Juwan Howard announced Wednesday afternoon that Davis, a redshirt junior center, will be with the program in 2020-21 as a fifth-year senior on scholarship.

The news came in advance of Thursday's senior night, which will honor point guard Zavier Simpson and Jon Teske.

"I gave him the news yesterday and he was super excited. Just to see the smile on his face, he gave me three hugs," Howard said.
