Brandon McCoy Jr. injury overshadows Michigan's win over Mega Superbet
Summary

Michigan basketball concluded its European tour with an 84-81 victory against Serbia’s Mega Superbet. The win was marred by the early exit of five-star guard Brandon McCoy Jr., who injured his right leg just 20 seconds into the game. After making a steal, McCoy slipped while driving to the basket and was unable to continue. He was carried off the court, and no immediate update on his condition was provided. This injury follows a series of others for Michigan, with several players sidelined during the trip. The Wolverines, who lost their first two exhibition games against Lithuanian teams, are set to return to the United States on August 29 to continue preparing for the upcoming season.
