Roddy Gayle Jr. - Earns additional year of eligibility Gayle was granted a preliminary injunction, receiving eligibility for the 2026-27 season, per The Field of 68.

Impact The eligibility wars have raged on all offseason, and there's no telling if this ruling will hold up by the time the Wolverines' season tips off and beyond. Still, at the moment, Gayle appears set to suit up for the defending National Champions. The 6-5 guard averaged 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds on 46/32/75 shooting splits last season.

Ricky Liburd - Dealing with minor injury Liburd (undisclosed) didn't travel with Michigan during their Europe trip as he deals with a minor injury, Clayton Sayfie of On3.com reports.

Impact Liburd couldn't make the trip with Michigan, missing some important scrimmages before the start of fall practices, but he will look to recover in time for the upcoming season. He recently decided to stick with the Wolverines for the upcoming season after redshirting the year before, as he looks to compete for minutes in the rotation.

Trey McKenney - Returns to court Thursday McKenney was back in uniform Thursday for Michigan after sitting out Monday with a minor undisclosed injury, Dylan Burkhardt of UMHoops.com reports.

Impact This is a positive sign for McKenney's availability after his recent absence during Michigan's Europe trip. His return to uniform suggests the issue was not a long-term concern, especially after being categorized as minor earlier. Now healthy, he should return to the court and resume his usual role as a starter.

Moustapha Thiam - Still dealing with lower leg injury Thiam (lower leg) will not play against Mega SUPERBET Thursday, according to Clayton Sayfie of On3.com.

Impact Based on the roster shown on the scoreboard during the game, Thiam will not take the court for the Wolverines once again. The Michigan center has been dealing with a minor lower-leg injury that forced him to leave early during a previous scrimmage. The injury was announced as minor, so it's probable that the team is taking precautions and making sure he is at full health for the upcoming season.

Trey McKenney - Sits out with minor injury McKenney (undisclosed) sat out with a minor injury for Michigan's game against Lithuania's B-team on Monday, Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact McKenney is working through an ailment as the Wolverines play in Europe. Luckily, the incoming sophomore should be good to go come the 2026-27 campaign. The injury will continue to be monitored, but McKenney's outlook is positive, and the decision looks to be precautionary more than anything.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Moustapha Thiam - Injury considered minor Thiam has a lower-leg injury, but it is considered minor, according to Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Thiam left Michigan's weekend scrimmage on Sunday with an injury caused when Elliot Cadeau unintentionally rolled up on the former's lower right leg, which appeared to hyperextend. Thiam went down in pain for a few moments before he was helped off the floor by UM's head coach Mike Boynton Jr. and a trainer. The Detroit Free Press got an update on Thiam, and it was a positive one. "Moustapha is fine," the Free Press was told. "Nothing serious." So while Thiam would sit out Michigan's following scrimmage, his absence would serve as a precautionary measure that the Wolverines will look to fully cooperate with, especially now that their regular season is barely over a few months away.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Moustapha Thiam - Suffers injury Sunday Thiam was injured during Sunday's game against Lithuania, according to @CSayf23 on X, which shared video of the play involving Michigan's center.

Impact Thiam suffered the injury early in the game against Lithuania and was unable to return to the contest, though the nature and severity of the injury remain unclear. Until more detail emerges, his status should be viewed as uncertain.

Impact Noland is coming off a stellar senior season at Columbia, averaging 17.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists on 45/38/92 shooting splits. The 6-2 guard will now take his talents to Ann Arbor for his final year of college ball, where he should factor in immediately.

Jalen Reed - Progressing in Achilles rehab Reed is ahead of schedule in his recovery from an Achilles injury as Michigan departs for Europe, according to Dylan Burkhardt of UMHoops.com.

Impact This marks another positive step in Reed's recovery after he was limited to non-contact work in late July. Though it was announced he wouldn't play during Michigan's upcoming European tour, his progress should keep him on track to ramp up further ahead of the 2026-27 season.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Reed - Not available for European exhibitions Reed (achilles) won't play during Michigan's foreign tour in Europe, per Clayton Sayfie of On3.

Impact Reed is still working back from the achilles injury that sidelined him for most of the 2025-26 season at LSU. The forward was taking part in non-contact work this summer, but still isn't ready for a full return to the court. He figures to be a big part of Michigan's frontcourt this season when he's healthy once again.
