Gets full workload in OT win Lendeborg racked up nine points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 85-84 OT win over Wake Forest.

Impact Lendeborg is back in the starting five and carrying a full minutes workload after tending to a hand injury to begin the season. There's still some rust to shake off, however, as it wasn't the best shooting day, particularly from distance. In the meantime, starting center Aday Mara has been stealing the show, as he led the Wolverines with 18 points in Tuesday's come-from-behind effort. Next up is a road matchup Friday against TCU.

Close to 100 percent vs. Wake Lendeborg (hand) will be closer to 100 percent against Wake Forest on Tuesday than he was in Michigan's opener against Oakland, per Anthony Broome of On3.com.

Impact Lendeborg was limited in Michigan's opener against Oakland, not starting that game and playing just 22 minutes. He still wound up logging 12 points, four rebounds, three assists and a block, but he was still held back by his hand ailment. Now, against the Demon Deacons, he should be closer to his usual self.

Strong showing off bench Lendeborg (hand) amassed 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 22 minutes during Monday's 121-78 win over Oakland.

Impact Lendeborg was initially announced as a starter but was later removed from the first unit due to a hand injury. He was able to play off the bench and posted a strong outing, making all of his shot attempts and delivering solid numbers across other categories. Lendeborg should be a key player for Michigan if he stays healthy, though it's unclear whether he'll start or come off the bench next Tuesday against Wake Forest.

Drops 25 points in exhibition Lendeborg put up a game-high 25 points (10-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in Saturday's exhibition game against St. John's.

Impact Lendeborg was arguably the biggest prize in the transfer portal and he has wasted little time proving why. Lendeborg is a complete player who is able to score in a variety of ways, compete with anyone on the glass, defend multiple levels on the court and find open teammates. There's a case to be made that Lendeborg could be the top overall fantasy player in the 2025-26 campaign. He will be ready to go for real on opening night Nov. 3 against Oakland.
