Moustapha Thiam stays with Michigan men's basketball team for next season

Moustapha Thiam, a 7-foot-2 center, will remain with the Michigan men's basketball team for the upcoming season. This decision follows the departure of coach Dusty May to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Last season, Thiam averaged 12.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while contributing significantly to Cincinnati's defense. His retention is considered a major boost for interim head coach Mike Boynton Jr., who also maintains other key players on the roster. The transfer portal for Michigan will open on July 24, following Boynton's appointment.
