Michigan basketball's Eli Brooks leaves game vs. Michigan State with apparent ankle injury

Michigan basketball's Eli Brooks left Sunday's game at Michigan State with an apparent left ankle injury.

The senior guard was injured at the 15:38 mark in the first half, when he scored on an up-and-under move, landing on Marcus Bingham's foot and rolling his ankle.

Brooks reacted immediately to the injury and play was stopped. He was carried off the floor by Juwan Howard and head trainer Alex Wong.

Depending on the severity, an injury to Brooks this close to the postseason could be disastrous. Michigan has leaned on his solid two-way play; Brooks has started 50 games the past two seasons and entered Sunday's contest averaging 8.
