A long offseason is finally over for the Michigan’s men’s basketball team, as they’ll tip off the 2023-24 season on Tuesday night when they host UNC Asheville.
The Wolverines will be short-handed in the backcourt in this matchup. We knew Jace Howard would be out four-to-six weeks with a stress fracture in his leg, and in his pre-game media availability, associate head coach Phil Martelli said Jaelin Llewellyn, who has been day-to-day recovering from a torn ACL last December, will not be in uniform as well.
Additionally, forward Youssef Khayat will be a game-time decision after missing the last few days of practice.
