Trey McKenney - College Basketball News & Rumors

Now healthy, he should return to the court and resume his usual role as a starter.

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.

Breakout candidate for 2026-27 McKenney is a breakout candidate for Michigan's 2026-27 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Even though Michigan's team no longer has Dusty May as head coach, due to his signing with the Dallas Mavericks, McKenney logging any less than an improved role would be surprising. During the 2025-26 Wolverines' season, a championship-winning campaign, he not only logged 41 games but also averaged 9.9 points and 1.7 three-pointers made without starts. Nimari Burnett no longer enrolled at Michigan and the Wolverines not signing a proven replacement indicates that McKenney's role should be elevated next season.

No freshman wall McKenney racked up 12 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 95-62 win over Tennessee.

Impact McKenney has been asked to step up in the absence of LJ Cason (knee), and so far the freshman has done just that. Through nine games sans Cason, McKenney has averaged 10.2 points and 2.9 boards while reaching double-digit scoring in three of four NCAA Tournament games. McKenney would be a figurehead for most D-1 teams, but the young guard coming off the bench for Michigan is truly a testament to Dusty May's depth.
