As college basketball fans monitor the status of Michigan star Yaxel Lendeborg ahead of the national championship game Monday, another injury has cropped up that could have big implications on the matchup.

UConn guard Solo Ball suffered a foot sprain in the team's Final Four win over Illinois, head coach Dan Hurley said Sunday. The junior was in a boot and unable to practice, placing some real doubt on his availability for the title game.

UConn's third-leading scorer at 12.9 points per game, Ball would be a huge loss for a Huskies team currently considered a 6.5-point underdog to the Wolverines.


Significant update on UConn's Solo Ball. Dan Hurley says he has "some kind of foot sprain" and will not practice today. He's in a boot. Will be something to monitor for tomorrow night.

One encouraging sign is that Ball was able to finish Saturday's game after suffering the injury, though he credited adrenaline for that.
