Back in late December and early January, when Caris LeVert was first being sidelined with a lower left leg injury, there weren’t too many people who thought his Michigan basketball playing days were over.
But after weeks passing with no sign of his return, hopes of LeVert donning a Michigan uniform were in serious doubt.
