Caris LeVert has surgery to repair stress fracture in foot, will miss 8-10 weeks
Reported by Baumgardner, among others. This is obviously a setback with regard to LeVert's summer workout plans, but he should be recovered in time for the trip to Italy:
“Caris underwent surgery today for a stress fracture of his foot at the University of Michigan hospital," Beilein said in a statement. "He is doing well and we expect him to make a full recovery in about 8 to 10 weeks. We are confident he will participate in our late summer training and play in our August trip to Europe.”
According to a Freep article, it's not known whether he'll be able participate in the Kevin Durant camp for wings (to which he had received an invite), which is usually held in July.
This happened during the UK game and I'm not one to make excuses but if not for this happening, he could have jumped that extra inches to block that shot and we would have won the game. I'm not taking anything away from UK, they're a great team and you know me...I don't make excuses but that foot....

This obviously sucks, but given UM's injury issues with key players in the past, I'll take it. Hopefully he'll bounce back without too much of a delay.
