Brandon McCoy injury update: Losing 5-star freshman would be massive blow

The Wolverines beat Mega Superbet in Croatia to wrap up their three-game exhibition series in Europe, but a Brandon McCoy injury was the story.

Michigan basketball secured a hard-fought victory over Mega Superbet in their final exhibition game in Europe, overcoming a 14-point deficit in the first half to emerge victorious 84-81. Trey McKenney led the team with 25 points, while J.P. Estrella added 16 despite fouling out early. Elliot Cadeau contributed 15 points. However, the focus shifted to five-star freshman Brandon McCoy Jr., who suffered an injury in the first minute and was carried off the court, never to return.

Mike Boynton Jr. expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent Michigan, praising the team's character, hard work, and improvement during their week-long stay. The severity of McCoy's injury remains unknown, posing a significant concern for the Wolverines as they return home after their trip.
