Jace Howard - Knee lands new designation Howard (knee) has been listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against Illinois.
Impact Howard's has only played one game so far this season due to his knee injury, recording eight minutes with zero points and three boards. The junior forward was listed as questionable as well and still played, but his status is still worth monitoring due to the ability of knee injuries to resurge.

Tray Jackson - Out Thursday Jackson (nose) will miss Thursday's game against Illinois.
Impact Head coach Juwan Howard had previously mentioned that Jackson was unlikely to play against the Fighting Illini and the Big Ten availability report confirmed the coach's words. Jackson will miss his third consecutive game after suffering a nose and head injury. The senior forward has averaged 5.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game through 15 contests for the Wolverines this season. Jackson's next opportunity to return will come on Tuesday when Michigan travels to face Purdue.

Tray Jackson - Dealing with nose fracture Coach Juwan Howard indicated Wednesday that Jackson is dealing with a nose fracture and is not expected to play in Thursday's game against Illinois, Clayton Sayfie of On3.com repor...
Impact Jackson is on track to miss his third consecutive game as he recovers from a nose and head injury. Coach Howard mentioned that in addition to the nose fracture, the 6-foot-10 forward is also dealing with a concussion. It was reported that surgery could be required, which could extend his time away from the court.

Dug McDaniel - Out indefinitely for away games McDaniel (academics) is out indefinitely for Michigan's away games, according to Clayton Sayfie of On3.com.
Impact A week ago, it was announced that McDaniel would serve a six-road-game suspension. The timetable (confirmed by multiple outlets) was announced by McDaniel, but not Michigan's head coach Juwan Howard. He mostly clarified McDaniel's situation after the Wolverines hosted Ohio State on Monday. They will see how the "progression is with him academically" and review it "in the middle to end of February" to determine his next steps. However, Howard also confirmed that McDaniel's suspension could be shorter than six games, sotiem the aforementioned timetable may not be an accurate representation. With all that in mind, the safest bet is to consider him out indefinitely for Michigan's away games.
