Michigan reserve guard Macy Brown will miss the remainder of the Women's NCAA Tournament after sustaining a torn ACL in her right knee during a practice last weekend, the school confirmed on Friday. The 6-foot junior played in 30 games off the bench this season, averaging 2.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per contest.
Why it matters
Brown's injury is a significant blow to the second-seeded Wolverines (27-6) as they prepare to face third-seeded Louisville (29-7) in the Sweet 16 on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas. Her energy and defensive presence off the bench will be missed as Michigan aims to advance deeper into the tournament.
The details
The school announced Brown's season-ending injury on social media, stating: 'We are heartbroken for her, but know that her energy and spirit will continue to make an impact on the sideline.' The junior guard had played a key reserve role for the Wolverines throughout the 2025-26 campaign.
