Impact Howard will miss his second straight game Saturday due to an ankle injury. The freshman forward's season may be over unless Michigan can advance in the NIT.

Day-to-day with ankle injury Howard (ankle) has been listed as day-to-day ahead of the second round of the NIT, Anthony Broome of On3Sports reports.

Impact Howard has reportedly been dealing with an ankle issue all season, which forced him to sit out for Tuesday's 90-80 win over Toledo. The 6-foot-8 freshman, who has started in 29 games this season, averaging 14.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, two assists and 0.7 blocks on 31.7 minutes per game, will likely remain a game-time decision for Saturday's showdown with Vanderbilt.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Howard (ankle) will not be active in Tuesday's matchup against Toledo, James Hawkins of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The freshman will be held out of Michigan's NIT opener against Toledo as he is dealing with an ankle injury. Howard is averaging 14.2 points and 2.8 rebounds this season. Joey Baker will get the start for the Wolverines Tuesday.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for action Thursday Howard (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Illinois.

Impact Howard had missed back-to-back contests due to an ankle injury heading into Michigan's matchup versus the Fighting Illini, but it's since been reported that the 6-foot-8 freshman is back in the Wolverines' starting five Thursday night. Howard is currently averaging 14.4 points per game across 26 starts this year.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

DNP vs. Wisconsin Howard (ankle) did not play during Michigan's game Sunday versus Wisconsin.

Impact Howard has sat out twice because of his injured ankle. Currently, Michigan's next game is scheduled to be at Illinois on March 2. Howard averaged 12.8 points and 3.0 rebounds across his six games played during February.

Game-time decision Sunday Howard (ankle) is a game-time decision before Michigan's game Sunday versus Wisconsin, according to Dylan Burkhardt of UMHoops.com.

Impact Howard sat out when Michigan played at Rutgers on Wednesday. Ideally for the Wolverines, he does not log another DNP during their next game.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Thursday Howard (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus Rutgers.

Impact As expected, Howard will sit out Thursday after sustaining a right-ankle injury in Sunday's win over Michigan State. His next chance to return to the court will come Sunday versus Wisconsin. With fellow starter Terrance Williams (knee) also out of the starting five, Will Tschetter and Joey Baker will both start versus the Scarlet Knights.

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Appears set to sit out Thursday Howard (ankle) is not in uniform or going through early warmups ahead of Thursday's road game against Rutgers, Brian Fonseca of The Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Howard has not been able to practice since sustaining a right-ankle injury during Saturday's win against Michigan State. Therefore, it's not overly surprising to see the 6-foot-8 freshman will likely miss at least one additional contest while working through this issue. With Howard almost certainly out Thursday, look for senior Joey Howard to step up into a bigger role.

Not yet practicing Michigan associate head coach Phil Martelli said Wednesday that Howard hasn't resumed practicing since injuring his right ankle in last Saturday's 84-72 win over Michigan State, To...

Impact Martelli said Howard will be making the trip to New Jersey for Michigan's matchup with Rutgers on Thursday, but the star freshman's absence from practice creates some skepticism about his availability for that contest. For now, Howard should be viewed as questionable for the contest -- at best -- until Michigan offers another update on his status.

FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains injury Saturday Howard appeared to suffer a right ankle injury that limited him to just 23 minutes played during Saturday's 84-72 win over Michigan State, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Howard was also tended to on the Wolverines' bench after he hobbled off the court with this apparent injury, though it's unclear if he was ever able to return to Sunday's contest. Michigan coach Juwan Howard also said postgame that he did not yet have any updates on the 6-foot-8 forward's status, according to Tony Garcia of The Detroit Free Press. The freshman has been the team's second-leading scorer this season with 14.4 points per game. He's also far and away led the team in three-point tries per contest (7.2), though he is only shooting 36.9 percent from beyond the arc. Nevertheless, it will be worth monitoring for additional updates on Howard's ankle heading into Thursday's game versus Rutgers.

Scores 21 during loss Howard closed Sunday's 83-61 loss to Penn State with 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt) and one assist across 27 minutes.

Impact Despite returning from an injured ankle, Howard was Michigan's only good piece as the Wolverines crushed by Penn State on Sunday. They finished January with five losses across their last seven games. But, the freshman provided a promising scoring rate of 15.4 points during that seven-game span.

Warming up at Penn State Howard (ankle) is warming up before Michigan's game Sunday at Penn State, according to James Hawkins of The Detroit News.

Impact Howard sat out when Michigan hosted and lost to Purdue on Thursday. However, he did not warm up then. Hawkins' report indicates Howard should be available when the Wolverines play their last matchup of 2023. If not, he must wait until February to log a game again.

Not warming up Howard (ankle) is not warming up ahead of Michigan's showdown with Purdue, Clayton Sayfie of On3.com reports.

Impact Howard appears unlikely to suit up during Thursday's matchup with the Boilermakers. The 6-foot-8 freshman has started in 19 games this season, logging 14.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.7 blocks on 30.7 minutes per game. Howard, who sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's win over Minnesota, will have his next opportunity to return on Sunday against Penn State.

Officially a game-time decision Howard (ankle) will be a game-time call for Thursday's showdown against Purdue, Alejandro Zuniga of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Howard suffered an ankle injury in the first half during a win over Minnesota on Sunday and would not return. It seems as though the 6-8 freshman will test things out in pregame warmups to determine if he's able to give it a go with tip-off set to be underway in just about an hour. Joey Baker could be in line for his first start of the year if Howard is ultimately unable to go.

JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Currently day-to-day Howard (ankle) is day-to-day, Michigan beat writer Dylan Burkhardt reports.

Impact Currently, Howard's availability status is more doubtful than questionable before the Wolverines host Purdue on Thursday. He was unable to practice two days after injuring his left ankle during their game Sunday.

Injures ankle Sunday Howard suffered a left ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's game against Minnesota and won't return for the second half, Andrew Kahn of MLive.com reports.

Impact Howard was held scoreless (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with two assists and one steal before he required assistance off the court upon suffering the injury. Michigan will likely send Howard in for tests on the ankle in the coming days, but the freshman wing could face an uphill battle to gain clearance for Thursday's game against Purdue even if he receives a good prognosis for his injury.
