Purdue vs. Michigan basketball injury report, Feb. 25

Will Tschetter, Michigan Wolverines

Sophomore forward Will Tschetter is listed as questionable for the game against Purdue as he is dealing with an undisclosed injury. This will be a significant loss if Tschetter cannot play, as he has a 59.6 shooting percentage and a 55.6 3-point percentage this season. His electric shooting is needed against one of the best teams in college basketball.

Olivier Nkamhoua, Michigan Wolverines

Graduate transfer Olivier Nkamhoua suffered a wrist injury that will reportedly end his season, with the expected timeline of four months before a full recovery. Michigan released a press release announcing Nkamhoua's setback as coach Juwan Howard spoke about the player's leadership.

"This is not how things were meant to be for Olivier," Howard said. "From the moment he stepped on campus, he brought maturity, class, insight and leadership. I truly feel blessed that I was able to learn a tremendous amount from him both on and off the court."

Nkamhoua was the team's second-leading scorer this season with 14.8 points while also leading the team with 7.1 rebounds. It will be a tough time for a struggling Wolverines team to replace his presence on the court.

Ian Burns, Michigan Wolverines

Ian Burns, the junior guard, will not suit up for the Wolverines today as he has been held to just seven games this season. He is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and it is unclear if he will return to the team at any point this season. Burns has played in two matchups since Dec. 16, and last appeared in a game on Feb. 13 against the Illinois Fighting Illini.
