Will Michigan Wolverines star Yaxel Lendeborg play tonight in the national championship against the UConn Huskies? Almost assuredly yes. Lendeborg is not listed on the availability report, indicating he is available to play.
Will Lendeborg be Limited?
Will Lendeborg be effective is an entirely different wonder. Joint injuries are often at their worst in the days after the initial worry, and that initial worry plagued Lendeborg quite a bit in Saturday’s rout of Arizona in the Final Four.
As Wolverines head coach Dusty May said on Sunday, “[Lendeborg] played the second half like a 38-year-old at the YMCA, and a really good 38-year-old at the YMCA.
“Whatever version of Yaxel we get, it’s going to be somebody that helps us play better basketball.”
After injuring his knee — a “low-grade” MCL sprain and a “small bone bruise,” per Michigan’s trainer — Lendeborg played nearly nine minutes in the second half. He scored six points on 2-of-2 shooting from beyond the arc and grabbed two rebounds.
Lendeborg was clearly limited. No matter the blowout nature of the game, not taking a field goal inside the arc in nine minutes of action stands out as a passive offensive approach.
Injury Impact on His Game
For context, Lendeborg took 5.3 shots inside the arc per Big Ten game, and he averaged 6.8 such shots in the first four games of this NCAA Tournament. If playing his usual game, he would have attempted two or three such shots on Saturday’s second half.
Expect Yaxel Lendeborg to take the court in Indianapolis tonight, but measure any other expectations of the Michigan star.

Cowboys rival could lose star DT; 3x-Pro Bowler requests late trade
Things might end up looking a lot different to the Cowboys offense when they line up twice this year against the defense of one of their divisional rivals.
The New York Giants could find themselves without three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, as the seven-year veteran and former first-round draft pick has reportedly requested a trade, per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
"Lawrence and the Giants have been through two offseasons attempting to negotiate a contract reflecting his value to the Giants over the last three years," Schefter wrote in an X post Monday, "but there has not been any progress, per sources."
ESPN sources: Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade and he will not be participating in the team’s off-season workout program that opens Tuesday.

Lawrence, 28, will reportedly not participate in the Giants' offseason workout program, which begins Tuesday.
The 2026 season will be the Giants' first under new head coach John Harbaugh and new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. Now it appears they will kick off their offseason preps without the 102-game starter who has anchored Big Blue's defensive line since coming out of Clemson in 2019.
"He's super, super important," Harbaugh said of Lawrence as recently as February. "He's a cornerstone football player -- not really a cornerstone, more like the middle stone. He's right in the middle. He's a very big stone, and he's a very active, athletic one."
Lawrence's Giants teams have not fared well versus the Cowboys, posting just a 2-14 mark in head-to-head meetings since he joined the roster. But in those 16 games, Lawrence has posted 44 tackles and nine QB hits.
The 6-foot-4-inch 340-pounder should command plenty of attention in the pre-draft trade market, but Dak Prescott and the Cowboys likely wouldn't be all that sorry to see Lawrence leave the division.
