Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg claims his mother and agent told him not to play in the second half against Arizona last night.
Lendeborg strained his knee a bit on a dunk attempt during the first half, but was cleared to return to the game by trainers.
“There’s no way they’re gonna keep me off the floor,” Lendeborg told Matt Norlander after Michigan’s 91-73 win over the Wildcats.
Should an agent be telling players not to play after athletic trainers tell them they are good to go?
Yaxel Lendeborg told me his mom and agent told him not to play in the second half last night but he shot that advice down once the trainer told him it was his decision.
