Michigan announced on Sunday afternoon the imaging results for Wolverines star forward Yaxel Lendeborg.
Lendeborg, an All-American forward, suffered an apparent leg injury in the first half of Michigan's win over Arizona. The Big Ten Player of the Year hobbled off of the floor and into the locker room at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. He appeared to have suffered an MCL injury.
He's determined to play in Monday night's national title game.
"I will be on that floor in that game," he said.
However, it's yet to be 100 percent confirmed.

Michigan head coach Dusty May announced that "all" of the imaging results on Yaxel's knee came back clean.
However, it's to be determined if he'll play in Monday night's contest.
"All the imaging has come back clean ... I'm sure he'll give it a go tomorrow but that will be up to him and the medical staff," May announced.
"He played the second half like a 38-year old at the YMCA. And a really good 38-year old at the YMCA."
Michigan made history with Saturday night's win
Michigan topped Arizona by 18 points on Saturday night. It's tied for the largest margin of defeat between two No. 1 seeds in NCAA Tournament history.
"Michigan's 18-point margin of victory is tied for the largest in an NCAA tournament game between 1-seeds since seeding began in 1979, per ESPN Research," Jeff Borzello shared.
Michigan and UConn will tip off at 8:50 p.m. E.T. on Monday night.
