Chicago — What is a promising week for many prospects at the NBA Combine is another exercise in futility for Michigan standout Caris LeVert.
After another foot injury derailed his senior season, LeVert is getting around the Combine on crutches, recovering from a Jones fracture in his foot. He had an additional surgery after the season, but hasn’t been able to resume full basketball activities.
“Everything’s healing up on time, but we just have to stay with the process,” LeVert said Friday. “It was (in the) fifth metatarsal.”
The specific nature of the injury had been shrouded in mystery, as LeVert and Michigan coach John Beilein didn’t go into detail about what it was or how serious it might be.
