Isaiah Livers out indefinitely with broken foot

© Provided by SMG “I would say this: last year was a true experience of how health is very important and much-needed in the Big Ten. With the loss of Isaiah Livers, we got a chance to see — we got off to a great start and then one of our key players went down because of injury, and how challenging it was night in and night out in the Big Ten. We expect any and anything this year to be thrown our way. We will not be surprised, but at the same time, we will not make excuses for ourselves. We will go out and compete and I love the fact that we have a very good roster, and our depth chart is pretty darn good, too.” © Provided by Wolverines Wire

Unfortunately, the rumors that circulated on Friday evening are true: Michigan basketball will be without star senior Isaiah Livers indefinitely.

Juwan Howard announced via a press release on Saturday morning that Livers suffered a stress fracture to his right foot and that he will be out indefinitely. Given the timing of the injury, that almost assuredly means his Michigan career has come to an end.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Juwan Howard, the University of Michigan David and Meredith Men’s Basketball Head Coach, announced today (Saturday, March 14) that senior guard/forward Isaiah Livers will be out indefinitely after an MRI following yesterday’s Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal game against Maryland revealed a stress injury to his right foot. Livers will wear a protective boot while he immediately begins rehabbing.

An All-Big Ten second team selection, Livers helped the Wolverines win the 2021 Big Ten regular-season title and earn the No. 1 seed at the Big Ten Tournament. He is averaging 13.1 points, a career-best 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while knocking down a team-best 50 three-pointers.

A tri-captain, Livers has played in 118 career games and is 13 points away from reaching 1,000 in his career. During his four-year career, he has helped U-M compile a 102-30 record that includes winning the 2018 Big Ten Tournament and reaching the 2018 Final Four and national title game.
