It's likely freshman guard Winters Grady has suited up for Michigan basketball for the final time in the 2025-26 season.

The 6-foot-6, 210-pound Grady from Tualatin, Oregon, has been listed as out on several U-M pregame availability reports as he deals with a foot injury. Multiple people with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press the expectation is Grady will be done for the rest of the season, with an outside shot of a return later this year.

LION-HEARTED: Michigan basketball eyes history against Penn State

Should he be done for the year, it's expected that Grady will seek a medical redshirt, given he has played in only nine games this season. Grady, averaging 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds per game, has been dealing with injury for more than a month. He has not played since Jan. 2, when he scored two points in three minutes in a 96-66 victory over USC.

Grady was a top-100 recruit in the class of 2025, per 247 Sports' composite rankings, as the No. 19 player in California, the No. 22 shooting guard in the country and the No. 95 overall player nationally.

The guard averaged just 5.6 minutes per game this season, but had a streak with at least one 3-pointer in five straight appearances. That included a 2-for-2 performance for a career-high six points in eight minutes in December's 101-60 victory over Rutgers.

Grady was not seen on the court with the team Thursday, Feb. 5, ahead of U-M's matchup with Penn State at Crisler Center.


Winters Grady is the best pure shooter on the team IMO… and not sure it’s that close. Casually, intentionally, glassed 5 threes in a row, then swished the next three. Pure.

He will make an impact sometime this year and certainly down the line. pic.twitter.com/SO96qWnqDM
